From an early age, I was motivated to pursue a career in Medicine.

After completing a medical degree from UNSW in 2003, graduating with a Class 1 Honours, I undertook my Cardiology training at St. George and Prince of Wales Hospital. I then moved to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the Heart Research Institute, where I completed a demanding PhD in Translational Medicine, funded by the National Heart Foundation. 

My research, aligned with my goal to treat Cardiovascular Disease, developing a coating to render surfaces resistant to clotting, an important property for devices in contact with blood. 

Following my PhD I travelled overseas for a highly competitive Fellowship in Interventional Cardiology (the minimal invasive treatment of Coronary Artery Disease with stents) at the prestigious Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre in Boston, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.  

I returned to Sydney in 2015 to put my skills and knowledge into practice in both the public and private arenas.
