Bachelor of Exercise & Sports Management

I’m a Willoughby local and love being part of the business community. I’m passionate about physiotherapy and enjoy the privilege of helping people recover from their injuries.

Since graduating from the University of Sydney with a Master’s of Physiotherapy I have worked solely in private practice seeing patients with every day aches and pains as well as spinal conditions, arthritis and sports injuries. I find sports injury management particularly rewarding, from recreational runners through to elite athletes. I understand the demands of balancing training with competition and place a heavy focus on injury prevention to minimise time away from the sport you love!

I have experience across a range of sports particularly netball, soccer, swimming and running. I work with patients of all ages and especially enjoy looking after school age students with sports injuries, training overload and growth related issues.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my two kids, running and drinking chai lattes!

Qualifications

Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)

Level 1 Sports Trainer

You may recognise me from the local Willoughby area, and I’m excited to be joining the team and giving back to the community I call home.

I have gained experience across a wide range of physiotherapy settings and discovered that private practice is where my passion truly lies. Sport has always been a huge part of my life, and that passion naturally led me into physiotherapy. Having grown up involved in competitive running, dance, netball, hockey, swimming, cross country, triathlon, rugby and AFL, I understand the demands that training, competition and injury can place on the body — and how important it is to return to sport feeling strong, confident and performing at your best.

I enjoy treating a wide range of sporting injuries, working with everyone from recreational athletes and weekend warriors to young school-aged athletes and competitive representative athletes. My experience includes working with North Shore Bombers Australian Football Club across both the women’s and men’s programs, and I currently provide physiotherapy support for Lindfield Rugby Club.

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me signing up for another marathon or event, spending time with my large and chaotic family, or planning my next travel adventure.
