• Activity-Based Therapy and Beyond: As an Activity Based Therapy certified therapist, I use advanced techniques like kneeling, crawling and locomotor training to help clients achieve their goals.
• Program Development and Leadership: In my role as the Motor Active Program Coordinator at the University of Queensland, I oversee the development and delivery of tailored physical activity programs for children and adolescents with disabilities.
• Holistic Care Across Settings: Whether in gyms, homes, hydrotherapy pools, or via telehealth, I ensure my clients receive exceptional care that fits their unique needs and environments.
