Biography

Research

I am interested in exploring the role of occupational therapists (OTs) within the oncology care team, particularly focusing on their early involvement. My aim is to investigate not only the conventional 'physical dysfunction' interventions provided by OTs but also their provision of early mental health services. I seek to discern whether OTs' early engagement contributes to alleviating negative side effects and mitigating the mental health implications associated with an oncology diagnosis.
