Shae Bradford

Kew, NSW

Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)

Competing at national level in robotics empowered Shae to push limits and discover new technologies and ideas within the field of engineering. It also opened her eyes to the many inequalities that exist for regional competitors working with limited resources and fewer opportunities. Shae hopes to give back to this area in future so that budding engineers and robotics enthusiasts in regional areas can have the same opportunities to enhance their future as their city counterparts. Also a passionate hockey player, Shae competes in many high-level teams and volunteers as a coach to teach kids of all ages and abilities the great lessons of sport. Her goal is to become a physiotherapist to help people achieve optimal health and lessen the burden of chronic disease on the health system.
