Physiotherapist, kitesurf instructor and mother of 2 who has lived and worked in Karratha for 8 years. Passionate about providing holistic evidence based physiotherapy to residents of the Pilbara.

I graduated from my Masters degree in Physiotherapy at Griffith on the Gold Coast in 2010. Since then I have worked in many Physiotherapy settings which have given me rich broad experiences.

In 2011 I commenced my Physiotherapy career at Cairns Base Hospital where I spent 2 years completing my hospital rotations in acute services and rehabilitation.

From there I travelled to the UK where I spent 2 years working the summers as a physiotherapist in the UK and the winters snowboarding in the French Alps.

I returned to Australia in 2015 where I set out on a trip around Australia with my partner. I worked again at Cairns Base Hospital and then in Darwin where I provided an outreach physiotherapy service to the communities of East Arnhem Land. Unfortunately, Darwin had too many crocodiles for us to enjoy our passion, kitesurfing. So we hit the road again and arrived in Karratha in 2016 for what I thought would be a 3-month locum at the Nickol Base Hospital and continued on at the Karratha Health Campus as a generalist physiotherapist.

Little did we realise how much the red earth would get under our skin. We enjoyed the lifestyle here which consisted of working and kitesurfing, boating, exploring and decided to start a kite school ‘Karratha Kite School’. 8 years later we are still here, and the Pilbara feels like home.

We have 2 beautiful vibrant boys who love exploring the islands with us and we feel so grateful to be able to give them such a rich childhood here in the Pilbara.
