About Me

I am a 26 year old physiotherapist currently working in a tertiary academic hospital in Cape Town, South Africa [1]. I am currently working in the orthopaedic setting, where I am responsible for the hip & knee replacement and sport medicine units. It is expected of me to help out and cover in different areas at regular times as well, and my all-round skills and knowledge stays sharp as a result of that.

I enjoy clinical teaching and mentoring, and am fortunate enough to have final year physiotherapy students in my setting.

Currently accumulating hours to certify as a Pilates instructor with APPI.
