She thoroughly enjoys applying her Hand Therapy skills to assist patients in their recovery.

She was involved in the first Plexus lnterplast Team which travelled to Vietnam in June 2016 where she volunteered her time to assist the Vietnamese medical community to improve their Hand Therapy Interventions with the Brachial Plexus population.

Outside of work, she loves the challenge of running an Olive Grove with her family and is enjoying learning the art of producing Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
