I have been working as an Exercise Physiologist for the past 18 months after spending five years as an Allied Health Assistant in community and neurological rehabilitation. My experience has given me a strong foundation in supporting people with a wide range of conditions and understanding the importance of a holistic, client-centred approach to care. I began my career as an Exercise Physiologist at Donvale Rehabilitation Hospital, where I coordinated and delivered a cardiac rehabilitation program and worked extensively with patients recovering from hip and knee replacement surgery. These experiences strengthened my passion for rehabilitation and helping people regain their strength, mobility, and confidence. I have a particular interest in neurological rehabilitation, especially working with people living with Parkinson's disease. I find it incredibly rewarding to help people maintain their independence and improve their function through targeted exercise. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where every client feels heard, motivated, and empowered to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Social Work experience in Case Management within Youth Justice, Child Protection, Adult Justice, Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol, Community Engagement. Experience as a Careers Counsellor (Secondary Education) and also as a Field Officer which included supporting and mentoring young people/young adults to complete their Traineeships & Apprenticeships, including support with both employment (Group Training) and education (Registered Training). Background in Music both as a player (guitar, bass guitar) in different bands and acoustic duos/trios and also in management. Experience working as a Player Welfare Manager within the AFL (VFL Competition).

I am an Accredited Exercise Physiologist who has been working with Pro-Active Health to help people of all ages through their injury rehabilitation and management of chronic conditions, through the use of exercise intervention. I most commonly work with clients to manage their Lower Back Pain, Osteoarthritis, and Type 2 Diabetes, however I have years of experience working with a whole range of other chronic conditions and injuries. I work out of our Ringwood and Lilydale sites, mainly seeing clients under DVA, however I'm able to provide treatment through other funding services if need be (NDIS, TAC, Medicare etc). I believe that it's important to design an individualised approach for each client and to create an enjoyable & welcoming environment for everyone that accesses our services.
