Meet Emily

Emily graduated in 2006 from Sydney university. She started working at Canberra hospital in 2007 covering wards and community health centres. She specialised in hand therapy in 2009 and has continued to enjoy building her knowledge and skills in this area ever since. Emily moved from the hospital to SportsCare Hand clinic in 2012. After seven years with the SportsCare hand clinic in Canberra, Emily moved to New Zealand for some new adventures with her young family.

Basing herself in Christchurch, she continued to work in a hand therapy practice, while completing further postgraduate studies. Emily also became a full Member of the New Zealand Association of Hand Therapists. After five and a half years in NZ, Emily was excited to return to the SportsCare team in 2024, resuming her role as a senior hand therapist.

Emily loves to keep active and be outdoors. She enjoys bushwalking, dancing, cycling and camping with her children.
