What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?
I am passionate about empowering my patient’s recovery using best-practice, evidence-based treatment methods.
As an avid runner who has managed many running injuries, I understand how frustrating it is for people not to be able to do the sport or hobby they love. I am driven to help my patients return to their full potential and love nothing more than working together with my patients as they strive towards a goal.
Favourite Conditions to Treat
I love and excel in post-surgery rehabilitation, especially for knees, ankles, shoulders, and spine. I am also proficient in conservative management or rehab for osteoarthritis and have a special interest in vertigo and concussion rehab.
What are you happiest doing when you’re not working?
We have a little boy called Bayley who keeps my husband and me very busy! When I have free time, I love to run and do Pilates. I also love to spend time with friends, try out a new restaurant, and curling up on the couch with a new book.
What would be your personal motto?
Find joy in the little things!
Who is someone you admire and why?
I’ve always admired Cathy Freeman. I still vividly remember watching her win gold in the 400m Olympic final in the Sydney Olympics in 2000. She inspired me to get into running from a young age.
Your most outstanding achievement:
To date, my son has been my greatest achievement. I have loved watching him grow and learn new things. I love seeing the world through his eyes and appreciating all aspects of his development.
What would you cook if I came round for dinner?
A nice piece of steak, with a fresh green salad, and some crispy roast potatoes… or a big seafood pasta.
Where should we go on holiday?
Somewhere warm and tropical.
