My particular areas of interest include musculoskeletal injuries, sporting injuries, injury rehabilitation and strength & conditioning.

I'm a physiotherapist based in Bendigo with a strong interest in musculoskeletal conditions, sporting injuries and injury rehabilitation.  I grew up in Wagga Wagga and completed my Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Charles Sturt University. Now living and working in Bendigo, I’m passionate about helping people move well, recover from injury and get back to doing what they love - whether that’s on the sporting field, at work or in everyday life.  Alongside my clinical work, I have a particular passion for strength training and promoting its benefits in rural and regional communities. I believe strength-based rehabilitation is a powerful tool for building resilience, preventing injury and supporting long-term health - especially in areas where access to resources can be limited.  My sporting background, including playing Aussie Rules for the Sandhurst Football Club, gives me a strong understanding of the demands of sport and how to tailor rehab programs that are both practical and effective. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, waterskiing in summer and playing footy in winter. I’m also a supporter of the St Kilda Football Club.
