About Sharon

"I graduated as an occupational therapist from the University of Queensland in 2007.

I grew up in rural QLD and have lived and worked in rural NSW since 2012.

I enjoy case management, working alongside participants, their families and treating teams. I enjoy contributing to coordination of injury related needs and problem solving as unexpected things may arise. I appreciate that all people are very different, their values, needs, preferences and injury related needs vary, despite the nature of their injury or personal circumstances.

I love working in a team, I feel that communication is of high importance and listening to people's preferences and concerns is crucial. In my role as a case manager, I pride myself to ensure communication between team members is collaborative to ensure the best outcome for a participant.

I take great pride in linking in with specialist services to ensure we are providing high quality services for people in rural areas.

As I live and work in a rural community, I understand the limitations and advantages of rural communities and the need for flexible and creative practices."
