Hello, I’m Vijaya!
I studied Occupational Therapy at Cardiff University, completing my MSc in 2024. Before starting my MSc, I gained experience supporting children and young people with sensory processing, handwriting, fine motor skills and functional independence across school and home environments.
I’m passionate about helping children feel confident and capable in their everyday lives. I enjoy working collaboratively with families, teachers and school teams to develop strategies that are practical, achievable and empowering, helping children build skills that can make a meaningful difference to their day-to-day experiences.
The Words First value that resonates with me most is compassion. I believe meaningful progress happens when children and families feel understood, supported and valued. Compassion helps me build trusting relationships, recognise each child’s unique strengths and celebrate their progress along the way.
Outside of work, I love playing Ultimate Frisbee, singing Carnatic music and travelling to scenic nature spots with my family. If you asked my best friend to describe me, I think they’d say I’m fun, creative and talkative.
