Get to know Premilla
Why did you choose a career in the Occupational Therapy industry?
While I greatly value completing my previous degree in psychology, I realised my true passion lies in the Occupational Therapy field. I am particularly drawn to the way OT enables individuals to participate in all aspects of their lives, helping them reach their full potential and independence.
What are you looking forward to most about being a therapy assistant in community disability?
I’m excited about the opportunity to build strong relationships and rapport with clients. Through this connection, I look forward to supporting individuals in engaging in meaningful activities and helping them achieve their personal goals, fostering both independence and empowerment.
