I hold a Master of Occupational Therapy Degree and a Clinical Psychology Degree. I have worked as Neuropsychologist in educational settings for over 5 years (overseas), I transitioned to Paediatric Occupational Therapy in 2018 (Australia).

Committed to lifelong learning, I consistently upskills myself to stay at the forefront of evidence-based clinical practice. I firmly believe in a family-centered approach to achieve the goals of both clients and their families.

Outside of my professional life, I treasure spending time with my family and friends. An avid enthusiast of outdoor activities, you'll find me catching waves while surfing or being at the beach.
