I graduated from the University of Ulster Jordanstown in 2006 with a BSc Honours in Occupational Therapy. From there I went on to work within a large rehabilitation unit gaining experience in the following areas:

• Medicine for the Elderly
• Orthopedics
• Rheumatology
• Spinal Injury Rehab
• Neurology
• Neurosurgery

I then went on to specialise in both Traumatic and Acquired Brain Injury.
After five years based in the north of Ireland I moved to a senior role in one of Irelands largest teaching hospitals where I am currently the Senior Occupational Therapist in Stroke Care.

I am secretary of the Allied Health Professional in Stroke Forum Dublin,
I sit on a National Acute Hospitals Seating group and I am AHP Liaison Officer for the Irish Posture and Mobility Network.

I have a very keen interest in:

• nuerorehabilitation
• strong skills in neuro splinting
• rehabilitation
• seating/posture management
• upper limb management
• cognition
• perception
• vision impairment post stroke/neurological event.

I am a member of the Association of Occupational Therapists Ireland (AOTI).
