member OTA

My interest in OT was sparked after observing a stroke rehab gardening group when I was working in plant nursery. I started out working with adults and before moving into the kids OT space, enjoying working with clients of varying ages and walks of life.

I am passionate about mental health, mind-body connection, inclusive spaces, group therapy, yoga, and nature based interventions. I value working with a multidisciplinary team, and work closely with other OTs and health professionals locally, and further abroad. In my spare time you’ll find me in the garden, in the kitchen, or moving about in nature.

Who’s that person beneath the experience of the health challenge?
