My approach to care: Your hands help you participate in everyday activities for work, sport, hobbies, and caring for your family. I pride myself on being able to empathize with my patients about the challenges a hand injury can cause to your everyday life. My empathy helps me achieve a greater connection and understanding between my patients and myself and it helps me tailor and teach a rehabilitation program to achieve the best possible outcome. It was during my graduate degree that I found my passion for hand therapy. I love seeing the results my patients achieve during their hand rehabilitation program. I moved to Melbourne from the USA in 2011 and am a proud mother of two children. I also enjoy yoga, tennis, fashion, and watching football. Additional languages: Spanish for therapy purposes.

I am committed to working together with you to find a pathway that lets you return to sport safely. I am passionate about sport, with specific interest in football, rugby, eSports, gymnastics, swimming, rock climbing and ice hockey. My sports growing up were swimming, rock-climbing, and rugby. In addition to sport, I also enjoy cooking and sitting down with a good book.

I believe accurate physical diagnosis leads to an effective management strategy. I am happy to see my patients making progress in every single session. I moved to Australia from Hong Kong in 2023. In my leisure time, I enjoy distance running, reading and spending time with my kids.

I am fascinated by the depth of impact that hand function has on our lives. I value working as a team with patients to maximise positive life outcomes.

My approach to care: I strongly believe in a holistic approach to therapy, as people should never be defined by their injuries. I aim to provide therapy that is evidence-based, meaningful and tailored to help achieve the specific needs of each person I treat. In my spare time you can find me doing anything crafty, such as knitting or sewing, cooking, playing music or reading a good book. I am also an avid skier once we get into the colder months.
