Arlie is a second year Occupational Therapy student at UniSA. Arlie decided to pursue a career in

Occupational Therapy because she wanted to support people to improve their wellbeing and participate in meaningful activities. Arlie values collaborative problem solving and understands the importance of independence and empowerment for clients. She looks forward to working with our clients to help them achieve goals best suited to their unique needs, desires and strengths in their

daily activities.

Arlie has been working in the education sector for over four years. This experience has contributed to her appreciating the importance the physical and social environment has on a person’s wellbeing and participation in occupations. This experience has allowed her to strengthen her understanding of development across the lifespan, behavioural and emotional regulation, empathy, building

trusting relationships and equity service provision for people of all ages and backgrounds. As our Occupational Therapy Assistant, Arlie will provide support to the Occupational Therapists with case management, administering therapeutic programs and basic equipment set up and education.
