After graduating from AUT, I headed overseas and found myself working at a paediatric hospital in Doha, Qatar; that's where I discovered my passion for hand therapy. I find it incredibly rewarding guiding people through hand and upper limb injuries, and helping them return to what's important in their lives.

I have a particular interest in acute wound care and scar management, where the right approach can make a real difference to your recovery and long-term outcomes. I also love working with kids, which takes a bit of patience and creativity to keep them engaged, but seeing their progress makes it all worthwhile.

Outside of work, I enjoy catching up with friends and family, travelling and enjoying the outdoors.
