Natalie Scott (Ranson, 1990)
What has been your journey since leaving Santa Maria College?
I left WA in December 1990, soon after graduating and moved to Queensland. My parents moved to the Gold Coast and I to Brisbane where I did Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland. I met my now husband in my second year.
We got married in 1998 and the following year moved to the UK where we lived, worked and traveled. We had twins in 2002 (Isabel and William) and moved back to Brisbane when they were 10 months old. We had another daughter (Abigail) in 2005.
Since leaving university, I have worked as a paediatric physiotherapist and I now work three days a week for the Queensland Department of Education working with students with disabilities.
What has been a highlight along the way?
I have had many highlights along the way but living, working and travelling overseas has been an amazing experience.
