I have two fellowships from of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in General and Acute Medicine and Geriatrics. I graduated from the intercalated MBChB PhD program at the University of Otago and hold a BSc with high honours from Idaho State University (completed on an NCAA tennis scholarship).
I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of Otago Wellington School of Medicine. I work as an Internal Medicine physician and Geriatrician at Wellington Hospital and am the Clinical Ethics Advisor for Te Whatu Ora, Wellington and Hutt Valley.
My research interests currently focus on patient safety and patient rights. I have a special interest in a rare disease - acute hepatic porphyria.
