About

Care that sees the whole person

I grew up in New Zealand and graduated from the University of New South Wales. I enjoy all aspects of general practice and hold postgraduate certificates in paediatrics, mental health, sexual health and travel medicine.

I previously worked as an honorary GP at a headspace centre under Alfred Health, where I loved providing holistic care to young people in a team environment. I currently hold a position at a sexual health clinic supported by the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre.

Outside clinical practice I enjoy teaching — I've been a medical educator for GP trainees and currently teach medical students at Monash University. I'm also involved with the University of Melbourne's Safer Families Centre of Research Excellence, helping GP practices nationally become more trauma-informed in supporting patients experiencing family violence.
