Introduction 

I graduated as an Occupational Therapist in 2011. Since then, I have worked in diverse settings, from rural villages in South Africa, to working within the NHS and private sector in London. I have extensive knowledge working with adults in the areas of trauma & orthopaedics, general medicine & surgery, and neurology (stroke, brain injuries). 

In 2023, I moved into self-employment, working as a private clinical specialist occupational therapist, as well as a case manager. In my role as a case manager, I am client centred and work collaboratively with the client, their families, stake holders and health services to co-ordinate services, manage care packages and communicate effectively to meet the clients needs and ensure the best possible outcome. My passion lies within the area of neurology, and this led me to furthering my studies within a master’s programme in Neurological Rehabilitation.

I have developed a unique skills set, that are transferrable to many circumstances. I work proactively, co-ordinating with professionals and services to ensure the most effective outcome for my client's. 

Being proudly South African-born and raised, gave me the insight, and highlighted the inequalities within society. This gave me the drive and determination to personally succeed and help people.

I accept instructions from both claimant and defendant solicitors and insurers. I have undergone formal training in the medico-legal process and am fully aware of my responsibilities under Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) pertaining to expert witnesses.
