Natalie Fini - Physical Activity after Stroke, Academic & Neuro leadership

A Neuro Physio Podcast

Nat Fini is our first returning guest having previously given us an update of supports from the Australian Physio Association (APA) at the start of the pandemic. We chat about Nat's transition from clinical neuro lead into academia alongside completing her PhD in physical activity (PA) and exercise after stroke. She shares her inspirations, how she over-achieves at networking (spoiler, she's naturally good at it), and her leadership work in the APA and other advocacy groups.
