Summary

Dynamic and dedicated Occupational Therapy student with hands-on experience. The previous placements have built my skills like intervention planning and professional communication, but also my creativity and therefore adaptability to unpredictable circumstances often seen in hospitals. With my recent experience at the Perth Children Hospital , my documentation and time management have improved to facilitate therapy sessions and write notes appropriately. I am eager to learn and committed to my ongoing professional journey.
