I am a fully AHPRA-registered Physiotherapist with over 13 years of diverse clinical experience across Australia, the UAE, and India. For the past 1.5 years, I have been practising in Australia, working across a wide range of healthcare settings including outpatient clinics, NDIS caseloads, DVA clients, Bupa Aged Care, and occupational health assessments in the metal processing industry.

I have extensive experience in developing and implementing effective rehabilitation programs tailored to individual needs. Known for my collaborative approach and adaptability in dynamic clinical environments, I bring strong skills in manual therapy, therapeutic exercise prescription, and clear communication.
