Specialist anaesthetist, educator, musician and lifelong learner.
I am an anaesthetist at Wellington Regional Hospital with twelve years of postgraduate experience across anaesthesia, critical care, general medicine, retrievals and transfer medicine. 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 joined the department of anaesthesia and pain medicine at Wellington Regional Hospital. 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.

Music has been part of my life since childhood — from choral singing and brass performance to music production and DJing drum & bass as DJ Cell Suicide. There's something about the discipline and the performance aspect that feels remarkably similar to clinical practice.
