Registered Hand Therapist
HandworksI joined the Handworks team in 2017. Since graduating from AUT with BHSc (Occupational Therapy) in 2008, I have worked at Middlemore hospital through the rotational scheme, working in specialised areas such as burns, hand therapy and spinal rehabilitation where I found my passion for Hand Therapy. I completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Rehabilitation in 2016 and achieved my Registered Hand Therapy Status in 2017.
I have recently returned part time to Counties Manukau Health to work with the specialised hands team. I love working in both private and public sector of health and very much enjoy the diversity.
Outside of work, I enjoy being active, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
