CURRENT ROLE:

In my current role at Living to the Max, I work closely with clients to assess their needs and identify challenges they may face. I develop tailored plans and strategies to help them overcome barriers and achieve their personal goals. One of the best parts of my job is collaborating with a diverse range of people across Adelaide, learning from them, and supporting them in meaningful ways. My role allows me to support Adelaide-based NDIS, My Aged Care, and private clients, drawing on my experience working with individuals who have a wide range of physical and psychosocial needs.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. While I no longer play football, I love watching the sport—especially cheering for my favourite team, the Mighty Crows. I’m always up for a chat about sports.

EXPERIENCE:

I graduated from the University of South Australia in 2022 with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours). Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to travel across South Australia, providing OT services to individuals with a wide range of physical, psychological, and psychosocial conditions.

AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE:

I have experience in the following occupational therapy interventions:

• Prescription of assistive technology and home modifications
• Accredited Functional Independence Measure (FIM) Assessor
• Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Assessment
• Worksite assessments
• Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs)
