• I grew up in a small country town and went to the local high school where there were only five people in my Year 12 class. The result - I got good at being self-directed and have a passion for rural healthcare.

• I had never met an OT when I applied to uni (I almost chose being a speechie!), but the variety in the profession meant I didn't have to have any idea exactly what I wanted to do with my life at that point (which was lucky, because I didn't!). There was (and is) so much you can do with an OT degree!

• I'm a proud #OTNerd - I love learning, research, quality improvement, and conferences, and am on a secret mission to convert you all into #OTNerds! This stuff doesn't need to be boring or overwhelming, so my goal is to find a way to share this view with other OTs.

• You'll find me on Instagram and Facebook, but in true #OTNerd style, you'll find my best stuff on LinkedIn. I share regular tips, resources, CPD opportunities, and the occasional post for a bit of fun. I'm approaching 8000 followers, so if you're not one of them, what are you doing with your life ;)

• A love collaborating with other OTs! There are so many awesome OTs out there doing amazing things, so wherever I can I'll share their work and look for opportunities to work together - not everything needs to be a competition! Get in touch if you've got an idea that we could work on...

• At the moment I'm doing Your OT Tutor all by myself - I'm the website guy, your course tech support, the content creator, course presenter, and marketing guru. It means life's busy, but if you do reach out, it will 100% be me answering your questions.

• Life is a bit of a juggle! Besides running Your OT Tutor, I also have a small clinical caseload working with adult NDIS participants, and work as a sessional academic for a university. This variety allows me to keep up-to-date with what students are learning and what issues clinicians are facing, so that the support, resources, and courses I provide are as helpful as possible.

• I'm a mum to two kids who believe sleep is for the weak and that there is nothing that can't be built out of a cardboard box and sticky tape. While work is important, my kids are also important, and occasionally if you reach out for a call or a meeting there could be some little people in the background. They're pretty cute though, so hopefully you'll be able to forgive any interruptions.

• Some random fun facts that others may not openly admit, but... I like Star Wars and Harry Potter, rock music and classical, I can play the piano and eat with my cutlery in the 'wrong' hands, but I'm not awesome at finding enough time for exercise and sleep. I'm also not a fan of dancing, and I don't really drink alcohol (not against it, just don't like the taste), so yes, I'm a nanna that prefers a cup of tea and a night watching movies rather than partying hard. It's all good though, my kids still think I'm cool ;)

• Starting Your OT Tutor has allowed me to meet lots of awesome people. I'd love to help everyone that reaches out, but at the end of the day, I recognise that the best person won't always be me. If I can't help you, I'll do my best to put you in touch with someone who can.

If you're still reading, now you know lots about me. If you think I could be the right fit for you, keep reading to find out even more reasons for why you should work with me.
