I graduated medicine from the University of Sydney and found myself in the nation’s capital as a junior medical officer.  Here, I  discovered the wonders of the black puffer jacket , traffic free roundabouts and ACT Health. By happenstance more than design, I have been amply supported by my colleagues and my community here in developing a rewarding and diverse career  in public and private anaesthetic practice.  In my work week, I could be caring for an infant or a 90 year old, a parturient for her delivery or supporting a veteran’s mental health.

I am a current examiner for the  ANZCA Fellowship exam and I have been involved in accreditation of both specialist and prevocational training programs.

Being a specialist anaesthetist has allowed me to practice medicine from Conakry to Honiara to Tamasina and even Perth, Western Australia! 

Through the ASA , I am keen to advocate for opportunities for our profession and craft group to develop, grow and be SEEN in our contribution to healthcare and the wider community.
