Ms Narineh Avansian
Registered Hand Therapist & Occupational Therapist
I joined the Handworks team in 2017. Since graduating from AUT with BHSc (Occupational Therapy) in 2008, I have worked at Middlemore hospital through the rotational scheme, working in specialised areas such as burns, hand therapy and spinal rehabilitation where I found my passion for Hand Therapy. I completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Rehabilitation in 2016 and achieved my Registered Hand Therapy Status in 2017. I have had the opportunity to work in the public sector of health and have very much enjoy the diversity and this has also enabled me to gain experience in treating wide range of injuries and conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy being active, love traveling and spending time with family and friends. View details »
