I am a highly motivated, hard working and enthusiastic Accredited Exercise Physiologist with over 3 years of experience working in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. I have a keen interest in improving performance and musculoskeletal injury management, and am particularly passionate about working within the Women's health space and injury prevention/management for runners. My strengths include attention to detail, being able to problem solve, collaborate and work well in a team environment, being receptive to feedback and excellent at building rapport with patients. I am seeking to apply these skills and knowledge to a role at Vitruvian Exercise Physiology where I can continue to expand my knowledge and grow as a practitioner.
