Learning, Teaching, Advocacy, Action.
I am a Husband, Father, and Doctor from Perth, Western Australia. I have a passion for teaching and advocacy, largely within the Medical and Surgical fields. I strive to create culture change within our medical workforce, and to realise the aim of true gender equity.
As a proud member of the Rotary Club of Mount Lawley, I work alongside people who tirelessly give their all to make the world a better place.
In my down time, I enjoy cycling, camping, and spending time with my wife and two daughters - especially when it involves nature, a swimming pool, or a barbecue.
This site is a showcase of my education work and advocacy interests.
