MBBS, FRACGP
Specialist General Practitioner
I am a GP located in Mackay, QLD, with a passion for providing high-quality, holistic care for my patients.
​
My special interests are women's and children's health, family planning, preventative medicine, lifestyle medicine, and skin cancer medicine, however I greatly enjoy cradle-to-grave care -- that is to say, I enjoy everything!
​
I am also involved with education for the future generations of doctors, with ties with James Cook University as the Academic Advisor for 5th and 6th year students in Mackay, a supervisor for medical students on their General Practice rotation, a Medical Educator for GP registrars, a marker of medical student assessments. I have also previously worked as a tutor for 4th year medical students on rural rotations.
​
Whilst not officially an RACGP supervisor, I provide teaching for RACGP Registrars in the clinic a Health on Central alongside clinical supervision and case discussion.
