I am originally from Gisborne. I graduated from Otago University in 2000. I have worked in hospitals in New Zealand and Australia and gained a Diploma in Paediatrics in 2005 before commencing my GP training in 2006. Following completion of my exams I worked in General Practice in Dublin, Ireland for 4 years where I gained great general experience.

I have been working at Te Puke Medical Centre since 2011 and have recently joined the Partnership.

I spend most of my spare time with my family and have two young children. I also love surfing, golf and mountain biking.
