Junior doctor in WA Country Health Service’s ASPIRE pre-vocational program, training across Albany and Bunbury. I am an aspiring general surgeon with interests in breast and endocrine surgery and a strong commitment to rural practice. Raised in rural Victoria, my dedication was recognised as the 2019 Moira Shire Young Australian of the Year. I am completing a dual Masters of Global Health/Master of Health Leadership and Management to support sustainable rural surgical services.
