I am a Lecturer at The University of Adelaide, currentlycompleting a PhD focused on exploring the potential of AI within Physiotherapy.
I've served as a Senior Physiotherapist and Clinical Educator within Rehabilitation Hospitals in Adelaide. My extensive experience spans both in-patient and out-patient departments, covering diverse areas of physiotherapy such as cardio-respiratory, musculoskeletal, neurological, orthopedics, oncology, and gerontology. The dynamic challenges of rehabilitation hospitals have not only honed my skills as a rehabilitation physiotherapist but have also equipped me with the expertise needed to design and implement a range of programs, including Physiotherapy Simulated Clinical Practice for 3rd year students.Throughout my journey, I've developed a profound commitment to advancing healthcare and contributing valuable insights to the field. My multifaceted experience and ongoing academic pursuits reflect my dedication to improving student outcomes and pushing the boundaries of physiotherapy research.
