Experience and Leadership

I am an occupational therapist with more than 15 years of experience across community aged care, inpatient rehabilitation, disability employment, workplace rehabilitation and the NDIS. This breadth of clinical exposure has shaped a practical understanding of how allied health operates within complex funding, regulatory and operational systems.

Throughout my career I have led organisational growth and systems implementation at scale, including helping build and expand an allied health practice from inception to more than 200 staff within two years. I have also co-founded a digital health startup, working at the intersection of clinical care and technology development.

My academic background includes a Master of Science with research focused on virtual reality in rehabilitation. I now work extensively in responsible AI integration within allied health, with a focus on governance, documentation quality, workflow design and workforce sustainability.

In addition to advisory and implementation work, I contribute to sector development as an international keynote speaker and research collaborator, and have served as Guest Editor of the WORK Journal AI special issue. I was named an Occupational Therapist of the Year finalist in 2020–2021.

Through The Training Club, I bring together clinical experience, operational leadership and technology strategy to support allied health professionals, practice leaders and health technology organisations to implement innovation safely and sustainably.
