Career Objective
After completing a year rotating through the medical ward, orthopaedic ward, rehabilitation ward and out-patient settings of the Mater Private Hospital Brisbane and Mater Private Hospital Springfield, I have developed a true passion for collaborative practice and connected-care with the ultimate goal of delivering exceptional patient-centred care. I've developed special interest in orthopaedics but would love to broaden my clinical knowledge in other areas including critical care and neurological conditions. I believe optimal outcomes and positive physiotherapy experiences are achieved with early interventions and a practitioner that is thorough, evidence-based and willing to listen.
