I am a physiotherapist and lecturer at the Graduate School of Health, Discipline of Physiotherapy at UTS. I have diverse experiences in academic and non-academic realms, and feel that both are important for a complete view of the world and a more holistic view of teaching and research. I have worked and lived in numerous countries including India, Japan, the Philippines, New Zealand, Australia and Denmark.
