I am currently on a sabbatical leave planning on being back in Melbourne in early 2025.

I relocated to Melbourne from Brisbane and began consulting at Healthcare on Collins in May, 2023. In Brisbane I gained a wealth of experience when working in multiple metropolitan hospitals in and around Brisbane and in rural Queensland.

In addition to my work as a general practitioner, I enjoy surgical assisting work in a variety of disciplines with a strong focus in orthopaedic surgery.

As a doctor, I am passionate in providing holistic healthcare, with a special interest in musculoskeletal medicine, orthopaedics, procedural medicine, emergency medicine and skin cancer surgery.

Outside of work, I am an active practitioner of yoga and meditation, and apply mindfulness to many aspects of my daily life.
