Kerry (she/her) lives on Wathaurong lands and respectfully acknowledges the traditional owners of these lands. Kerry is a PhD student with over 20 years’ experience working in paediatric physiotherapy. Her work has included both clinical and service development roles in a range of acute and community settings including University College Hospital in London, The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne and the Victorian Paediatric Rehabilitation Service Barwon and Children’s Therapy Services in Geelong.

Kerry’s position within the Healthy Trajectories team allows her to use her clinical experience as a foundation for research that focuses on promoting partnership and collaboration between service providers and families. Her focus in both research and in clinical practice is to empower children and families, and to provide support that is responsive, flexible and guided by the priorities, values and needs of each child and family.

Outside of work and study, Kerry enjoys walking, bike riding and travelling, and catching up with family and friends.

Kerry is standing at the top of a mountain overlooking a fjord in Norway.  She is wearing a black raincoat and has wet hair.  She is smiling because she hiked up in the rain, and made it to the top and the rain stopped.
