B App Sc (OT) (Curtin) (1994)
After graduating I worked in the area of hand therapy
for 15 years. I worked in a variety of hand clinics in both
Perth and Sydney before forming a partnership with
Cathy Thomas in 1998 and establishing Thomas and
Saleeba Occupational Therapy Specialised Hand Therapy
Services.
I have also tutored students at Curtin University
and have completed my Masters of Medical Science
(2010) research at the University of Western Australia
on Patient Compliance and Spontaneous Movement
following Flexor Tendon Repair. I presented this study at
the AHTA conference held in Perth where my presentation
received the Australian Hand Surgery Society Award.
I have published an article in the American Journal of
Hand Therapy, which also won the Jill Chapman award at
the AHTA conference held in New Zealand. I have been a
full member of the Australian Hand Therapy Association
(AHTA) for over ten years.
