Specialist anaesthetist, educator, musician and lifelong learner.
I am a doctor with experience across anaesthesia, critical care, general medicine, retrievals and transfer medicine, and a fellow of both the Royal College of Anaesthetists (UK) and the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists. Originally trained as a biochemist, I completed doctoral and postdoctoral research in the UK before returning to medical school in 2010. After relocating to New Zealand in 2021, I worked in a range of regional and national anaesthetic departments and ICUs before joining the department of anaesthesia and pain medicine at Wellington Regional Hospital, where I worked until July 2026. I am currently working as a locum consultant anaesthetist in various anaesthetic departments around New Zealand. I hold additional positions as a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Otago, a flight doctor with New Zealand Air Ambulance Service, and an event medic with St John Ambulance.
