I graduated from St Mary’s Hospital Medical School, Imperial College London in 1998 and was admitted to the Fellowship of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists in 2012.

I work as a specialist anaesthetist, predominantly in private practice in Townsville and am the Director of Anaesthesia at Mater Private Hospital Townsville. I am a senior visiting specialist at The Townsville University Hospital and Senior Lecture at the College of Medicine and Dentistry at James Cook University Townsville.

I was a member (2010-12) and chair (2012) of ANZCA QLD Trainee Committee, ANZCA Trainee Committee (2012), ANZCA Curriculum Redesign Steering Group (2010-12), QLD ANZCA/ASA CME Committee (2011-2016) and most recently ASA QCOM (2019-2024).

Over the years, I’ve participated in several hospital committees. My specialist interests include anaesthesia for obstetrics, orthopaedics and ENT and have a keen interest in ERAS.

Outside of work, I enjoy travel and scuba diving. During my tenure I would like to focus on exploring ways to improve provision of anaesthesia services in regional Queensland but also other important specialties such as paediatric provision in the private obstetric setting.
