My name is Patrice and I am currently in my final year of studying a Master of Occupational Therapy at the University of Sydney. Previously, I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science.

I have 3 years of experience working with children between 8-13 as a tutor where I became passionate about empowering children to reach their potential. This also taught me the importance of having a tailored approach for each child's individual needs and abilities.

I have also worked as a disability support worker working with teenagers and young adults, particularly in social and community participation. I saw the impact that this participation had on the quality of life of individuals, inspiring me to pursue Occupational Therapy as a way to foster and enrich the lives of individuals with varying needs.
