CURRENT ROLE:
As an Occupational Therapist, I work with Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) clients and their families, providing occupational therapy services to improve their quality of life, safety, and independence. As a community-based Occupational Therapist, I visit clients in their homes and offer personalised recommendations based on their individual needs and goals. This includes home modifications, falls prevention, equipment prescription, pain management, and referrals to other health services or supports.
My role is very rewarding as I have the opportunity to build strong relationships with clients and support them in meaningful ways. I enjoy seeing the positive impact that Occupational Therapy can have on people’s lives and overall wellbeing.
In my spare time I enjoy playing hockey, spending time at the beach, and catching up with family and friends.
EXPERIENCE:
I graduated from the University of South Australia in 2024 with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours). During my placements, I led a project focusing on dementia care in a rural community and gained experience in a community OT role.
