Alexandra Pernet

I am a physiotherapy student at Oxford Brookes University, going into my second year, with a strong foundation in musculoskeletal assessment, anatomy, and rehabilitation built through intensive practical and academic training. Sport has been central to my life and is what drew me to physiotherapy. I work well under pressure, pick things up quickly, and take pride in being reliable and easy to work with. I am currently looking for hands-on clinical experience to complement my studies.
