Summary

I am a compliant Hardworking person with enthusiasm and the willingness to assume additional responsibilities. I strive for excellence, and I am passionate in new experiences and broadening my life skills.

My main career goal/choice in life is to become a fully qualified Occupational Therapist working in a private paediatrics practice working alongside kids and assisting them to achieve their goals. I highly strive to develop a greater understanding of the human anatomy, as well as understand the abundance of therapeutic tools offered to cater for individuals. My passion is to assist in promoting other people's wellbeing by providing a variety of techniques to improve their physical and mental health. Therefore, my goal is to complete my Bachelor of Occupational Therapy honours at the University of Newcastle.
