I qualified from Canterbury Christchurch University in 2009, and had a varied clinical background in intermediate care, neurological rehabilitation, community mental health and social care. I love the variety of occupational therapy as a profession.
I joined the teaching team in 2021, and have since become a Senior Lecturer and Course Director for the Occupational Therapy Apprenticeship. I am passionate about occupational therapy and its transformative capabilities for individual and social change. I have a particular interest in the use of therapy animals to promote engagement in occupation and improve wellbeing.
