What inspired you to become an OT?
What inspired me to become an Occupational Therapist was the opportunity to combine logical thinking with creativity while making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I have always been passionate about helping others and supporting people to feel more confident, capable and included in the things that are important to them. I was drawn to Occupational Therapy because it allows me to problem-solve, build on each person’s strengths and find practical, individualised ways to support greater participation in everyday life.

Who do you like to work with?
During university I had the opportunity to have a clinical placement at NSPOT. This was my favourite placement where I gained an understanding of the importance of early intervention. I enjoy working with children and families to teach children skills they can use throughout their life.

Greatest accomplishment:
My greatest accomplishment has been continuing to grow and develop as an Occupational Therapist, while using my experience to support and empower other therapists in their own professional journeys.
