Meet our students and staff

"I loved the focus on clinical placements during the degree. It allowed us to take our classroom learning to real patients and make a difference while still studying. Working with stroke survivors allows me to improve people's function every day.

"I'm really passionate and proud to be able to make such a meaningful impact. I hope to be able to help people reach their goals and improve their quality of life for many years to come."
