Elena graduated from the University of Canberra with a Bachelor’s Degree in Occupational Therapy in 2024. Elena grew in her appreciation for hand therapy after completing a placement in the hands and burns unit at Canberra Hospital. This passion has continued to grow as Elena moves to Newcastle to join our team.
Elena is currently undertaking an early career fellowship in hand therapy through the AHTA Hand Faculty program. She is an associate member of the Australian Hand Therapy Association. Elena has a passion for occupation-based practice and is highly driven to restore hand function for patients to return to the meaningful activities that fill their lives.
When Elena isn’t in the clinic, she enjoys visiting new cafe’s, playing soccer and weightlifting. Elena especially delights in spending her time in the outdoors whether it’s swimming at the beach or hiking up a mountain, she’s always up for a new challenge!
