I recently completed a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) at Monash University. While studying I worked as a therapy assistant with children with ASD.

I am passionate about working alongside clients and families to help them achieve their specific goals. This work along with my paediatric placements is where I found my passion to start my career in the paediatric setting. I love meeting new kids and finding out what is most important to them and their families to work on while making it fun and engaging!

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going for brunch, the gym, sunset swims and smashed avo.
