Summary
Compassionate Physiotherapist with 4 years of experience providing physiotherapy services to a diverse population, across many clinical areas. Committed to increasing the quality of patient care to vulnerable populations, including children and women. I am passionate to use my experiences in hospital, aged care, pilates and private practice settings to improve the quality of life and access to health care among the female population. My goal is to undertake further study in this area to work closely with children and women across the life span - specifically pre, and post natal care and providing services to promote healthy ageing among females.
