Member of Physiotherapy New Zealand
Qualifications & Expertise:
Bio:
I started my professional career in 2018 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. I worked in state for 6 years where I worked in a tertiary health setting seeing a variety of patients in both an in-patient and out-patient setting. Over the years I worked closely with specialist doctors and surgeons, specifically in the field of orthopaedic rehabilitation pre and post surgery. After about a year in state, I branched out to gain some private health experience and worked in private practice on a Locum basis for the last 4 years, thereby gaining the best of both worlds.
Working in South Africa, there was always a natural love for community and it has always been a priority to strive for excellent patient care within a system that was so strained. I therefore make it an effort to always learn more and to give the best patient centred treatment while taking on a partnership role with my patients to obtain the best possible return to function.
Outside work, I love cooking and baking, and time spent exploring. On a good you’d find me at the beach lazing the day away. Generally I enjoy time spent with friends and family. My sport of choice is dancing, I was actually classically trained in ballet and ballroom dancing throughout my primary and high school career, which is actually where my love for physiotherapy started due to my own personal dance injuries.
