What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?

I’m passionate about patient centred care and work enthusiastically with my patients to help them achieve their goals.

Ankle and knee injuries – from personal experience managing ankle rehabilitation and working with surgical and non-surgical ACL patients, I’ve taken a keen interest in injuries of the lower limb.
Vestibular disorders.

Anything outdoors – running, ocean swimming or playing tennis during the week. On the weekends – surf trips, camping or heading to live music shows.

Who is someone you admire and why?
Rodger Federer – growing up playing tennis and other sports, Rodger has exemplified to me what dedication and hard work can achieve. More so than his tennis ability, I admire his humbleness and humility.
