Leonie Keiper
Summary
I’m a motivated and approachable Exercise Physiologist with experience supporting a wide range of individuals, including children and people living with disability. I’m passionate about helping others learn, grow and feel supported, and I pride myself on building strong relationships and being adaptable to each person’s needs. I work well both independently and in a team, communicate clearly, and bring a positive, proactive attitude to everything I do. I’m now looking to bring these skills into a teacher aide role, where I can continue to support young people in a meaningful way.
