Creo que para lograr el mejor resultado funcional, es importante generar confianza, establecer una conexión y educar a mis pacientes a un nivel que puedan entender cómodamente. Disfruto ser una parte entusiasta de la rehabilitación de mis pacientes y me esfuerzo por ser acogedora, alentadora e informativa a medida que participan en el proceso. Sé que mi paciente es más que su diagnóstico de extremidades superiores. Comprender lo que los hace únicos me ayuda a adaptar su programa de terapia a ellos como individuos. Divertirnos mientras logramos sus objetivos es una de las mejores partes de mi trabajo. Lograr un nivel óptimo de independencia funcional es un esfuerzo de equipo: paciente, médico y terapeuta que trabajan en armonía. Realmente disfruto la dinámica de esa interacción. Sinceramente amo mi trabajo.
UCHealth really “walks the talk” in terms of the improving lives in meaningful and personal ways. As a community of healthcare providers we truly put our patient first. I see integrity and excellence in my colleagues everyday as we interact with our patients and coworkers. There is a genuine atmosphere of support and encouragement in my workplace that is so refreshing! In addition I have the honor of working alongside an elite team of surgeons and physicians at Steadman Hawkins and the greater UCHealth community.
I was born in South Africa and raised in Western Australia. I have lived in the US for 30 years, spending the majority of that time in Colorado. I love the sunshine, the mountains and the friendliness of the people here. Camping, working out, sewing, knitting, remodeling, traveling and spending quality time with my family and friends are among my favorite things to do.
During my college training in Occupational Therapy I developed a passion for hand therapy that has only continued to grow. Working exclusively in hand therapy since 1998 here in Colorado, Florida as well as Western Australia. I have had the honor of working alongside a number of surgeons specializing in all aspects of upper extremity pathology, in addition to occupational medicine physicians, rheumatologists and primary care physicians. An active member of the American Society of Hand Therapists since the early 90s I have enjoyed attending a multitude of local, national and international hand therapy conferences. I have also had the opportunity of presenting at local, state and national meetings.
