Summary

I am a final-year Bachelor of Physiotherapy student, currently working on my research project and set to graduate in November 2024. I am particularly passionate about women’s health and am committed to continue developing my expertise in this field.

Throughout my diverse placements, including Pelvic Health, Neurology, and MSK Physiotherapy, I have gained extensive hands-on experience in patient care. My background in Psychomotor Rehabilitation equips me with the ability to empathize deeply with patients, effectively identify yellow flags, and implement tailored treatment plans using relaxation and cognitive-behavioral techniques to enhance mind-body awareness and connection - skills that are particularly vital when working in women's health.
