Originally from Germany, Annika pursued a degree in physiotherapy before immigrating to Australia, where she worked for a number of years in clinical rehabilitation, particularly in aged and disability care. 

However, Annika’s interests extended beyond clinical practice; she found her passion for education, commencing in the role of Education Project Officer at CICM following several education-based positions in the allied health space. 

Her main focus is currently the CICM curriculum renewal project which she has been coordinating since the beginning of 2024.
