Hi, I’m Tina! I’m a fourth-year physiotherapy student at Monash University, and I’m excited to be joining the team for a five-week placement.
I was drawn to physiotherapy because it combines movement, problem-solving and the opportunity to help people return to the activities they enjoy. I’ve completed placements across acute, inpatient and outpatient settings, with outpatient rehabilitation being a particular favourite. I love building connections with patients, adapting their exercise programs and watching their movement and confidence improve along the way.
I’m especially interested in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, rehabilitation and exercise prescription.
Having lived across different cultures, I speak Persian, Turkish and English. This has helped me appreciate how important it is for people from all backgrounds to feel comfortable, welcomed and understood.
Outside of physiotherapy, you’ll usually find me at the gym, working on getting stronger and staying active. I’m also the proud owner of Mr Waffle, my toy Cavoodle and very demanding personal step-count coach. He makes sure I never miss our daily walk!
I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and learning from the team and community throughout my placement.
