Nikki graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from La Trobe University and is a passionate Occupational Therapist who loves working in the disability space. Nikki has over 28 years of experience working as an Occupational Therapist all over the world including, Australia, England, Africa and Singapore. Initially, Nikki’s career started in public health providing acute and sub-acute care across a range of diagnostic groups.

In 2006, Nikki commenced work in private practice consolidating her clinical skills in community based neurological rehabilitation, focusing primarily on spinal cord injury and acquired brain injury. Over the past 8 years with the role out of the NDIS, Nikki has worked in the disability sector which she has discovered is her true calling as an OT. Nikki’s skills and experience allow her to be diverse and highly adaptable, and she is well respected amongst her clients and colleagues in the industry and in the broader Bendigo community. Nikki’s particular professional interests include working with clients with complex physical disability, progressive neurological disorders and trauma informed practice.

Nikki is one of the senior OTs at Pivotal Occupational Therapy and we value her years of experience in numerous settings, which enables her to have a significant impact on the lives of her clients and provide support to her fellow colleagues.

Outside of work, Nikki enjoys spending time with her family, travelling and exploring the outdoors including hiking and camping.
