Lucy Knight
North Rothbury,NSW
Summary
My name is Lucy, I am an Occupational Therapist with a proven track record at Harpers Health, with experience in direct client care, client assessment and interdisciplinary collaboration. I work towards enhanced client independence through targeted intervention planning and sensory integration, aiming to achieve optimal outcomes. I am building my skills in family education and clinical reasoning, consistently advancing my client care standards. I have the ability to adapt to the diverse needs of clients, developing targeted treatment plans to support individual needs. I am a well-trained occupational therapist with 1.5 years of experience working as an OTA before moving into my new graduate roll, building my confidence working alongside clients and their families.
I grew up watching occupational therapists support my quadriplegic uncle to live a meaningful and productive life. I am hoping across my career I am able to make similar, positive impacts on the lives of individuals with varying diagnosis and their families.
