What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?
I bring a competitive and passionate perspective shaped by my background as a New Zealand representative in Triathlon/Underwater Hockey. This experience has enhanced my understanding of sports injury treatment and prevention, particularly the importance of collaborative care between clients and therapists to get them back on the field. My caring nature and empathy for others creates a supportive environment. I’ll always be their number one supporter as I enjoy seeing people returning to the things they love.

Hips/Knees/Ankles
What are you happiest doing when you’re not working?
Running with friends, spending time with loved ones, crocheting, dip in the ocean & of course learning to ski!
