01, About

Dedicated to the art of recovery

I graduated from the Bond University, Australia in Doctor of Physical Therapy program in 2026 with a strong academic record and over 1,400 hours of supervised clinical practice across seven diverse placement environments.

My approach integrates the latest evidence in pain science, biomechanics, and exercise physiology with genuine attentiveness to each patient's unique context, goals, and values. I believe effective physiotherapy listens as carefully as it treats.

Having trained across orthopaedics, neurology, paediatrics, and sports medicine, I bring a breadth of clinical understanding to every assessment, enabling me to see the whole person, not only the presenting complaint.

Outside the clinic, I remain active as a trail runner and table tennis player, grounding my professional perspective in a lived understanding of the demands, and rewards, of physical activity.
