About Me - Georgia Vine

Georgia a white female in her cap and gown in her wheelchair.

My name is Georgia, pronouns she/hers, I am 23 years old and an occupational therapist working as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in Occupational Therapy at The University of Huddersfield. My passions aside from activism and occupational therapy are reading, theatre, and music, including gigs and festivals!

I was 18 years old and had just started my training to become an occupational therapist when I started Not So Terrible Palsy had been guest blogging and started to get more involved in the disabled online community and disabled advocacy.

“Her blog discusses important topics and uniquely from two different perspectives from first-hand experience of living with a disability as well as a professionals viewpoint.”

Georgia a white woman, stood with her glassed on, brown hair, black dress with white marks on. At a stand at conference the stand says OT with a black O and a green T then say Occupational Therapy Show. The lighting in pink.

In 2021 I qualified with a First Class Degree in BSc Occupational Therapy with Hons. I was also named as a Rising Star on the Shaw Trust #DisabilityPower100 in 2021.

As a founding member of AbleOTUK, I strive to work with others to disrupt the profession and recognise intersectionality whilst working with occupational therapists from around the globe.

I am currently writing my debut book about dismantling ableism in occupational therapy practice and am so thankful to so be a published author.

I rank in the top 2 Occupational Therapy bloggers in the UK and have over 5,000 followers from around the globe and this continues to grow. I am so thankful for all the support I receive and would have never thought that when I started in 2019 I’d still be here.
