As an experienced occupational therapist, they have honed their skills through hands-on experience in various settings. Their prior placement at an aged care facility allowed them to work closely with clients, helping to improve their engagement, physical strength, and mobility in their daily lives. Additionally, they have completed a school-based placement, where they had the opportunity to work with children who have disabilities or developmental delays. Through their studies, they have also gained valuable experience working for a company that specializes in mobility aids and disability equipment. Furthermore, they have a history of work as a support worker, providing clients with care and support.

Kayla is an enthusiastic and passionate occupational therapist with experience working in early childhood intervention, rural and remote communities, and child and adolescent mental health. She values individualised approaches focused on enablement principles that empower consumers to reach their goals. She believes all people should have access to purposeful, individualised intervention that suits their unique needs.

Kayla finds one of the most rewarding aspects of being an OT is the opportunity to be a part of each client's unique journey. She loves being creative, flexible, play-based and making a difference in people's lives.
