I am an Australian paediatric surgeon and paediatric urologist based at Townsville University Hospital, providing care for children and their families across a large regional catchment in North Queensland. I have a strong passion for **minimal** access and robotic surgery and established the first paediatric robotic surgical service in Queensland. My practice includes a broad range of elective and emergency paediatric surgical and urological conditions, allowing children in regional centres to access specialised care closer to home. I am also deeply committed to teaching and training, with an ongoing role in mentoring junior doctors and surgical trainees.
