Professional Experience

An Experienced and AHPRA registered occupational therapist with 18 years experience working across acute, rehabilitation, hand therapy, community, metropolitan and remote clinical settings, working across the lifespan, predominantly within adult populations. I have worked solely in the adult NDIS space for the past 7 years and am familiar with NDIS legislation and criteria to support participants needs. 

I am passionate about working with participants to portray their journey and experience of disability and supporting them to live their best life despite disability. I am most in my element when faced with a challenge and enjoy working with complex participants that require an “outside the box” approach and an opportunity to be creative. The NDIS is an increasingly challenging space and I firmly believe that finding the right therapist to suit a participant’s unique needs is an integral part of achieving successful outcomes and partnerships and ultimately, goal achievement.

I work holistically and passionately and have great faith that the NDIS can continue to be life changing with the right combination of supports, despite the challenges.
