Summary
I am in my final semester of studying osteopathy at RMIT, where I have undergone clinical placements at RMIT health clinic, RMIT Sports Clinic and Assisi Aged Care, which have provided me with experience treating a diverse range of patients. Having danced since the age of 3 and taught dance for the past 5 years, I have developed a keen interest in the human body that inspired my osteopathic studies. Additionally, my background in hospitality and dance teaching has honed my communication skills, organizational abilities, and capacity for collaborative work, making me a well-rounded candidate.
