I am a DHA-licensed Senior Physiotherapist with over 14 years of clinical experience across paediatric and neurological rehabilitation, orthopaedics, post-operative care, geriatrics and acute care. My particular area of interest is paediatric rehabilitation, especially working with children with cerebral palsy and developmental conditions. My approach is centred on understanding the individual child, identifying what matters in their everyday life, and developing practical rehabilitation goals in partnership with families. Over the years, I have also taken on responsibilities in clinical leadership, team supervision, multidisciplinary working and community education. These experiences have strengthened my belief that good physiotherapy is not only about treatment techniques, but also about communication, clinical judgement and the ability to make rehabilitation meaningful for patients and families. I am committed to evidence-informed practice and continuous professional development, while remaining curious about how digital healthcare and emerging technologies can complement physiotherapy. At this stage of my career, I am particularly interested in contributing to the wider physiotherapy profession through clinical practice, professional collaboration, education and sharing practical experiences from rehabilitation. My aim is simple: to keep improving as a clinician while contributing positively to the patients, families and professionals I work with.
