Summary

I am a determined, career-minded individual completing the final stages of my medical degree at the University of Otago within the Christchurch campus. This has given me a strong foundation of clinical skills and knowledge to set me up for success as a house officer. I am confident in my abilities and have excelled through my clinical rotations, building many strong relationships with team members and peers along the way. I have a keen interest in primary care, older persons' health, palliative care and ophthalmology and am looking forward to developing my skills in this area as a working professional. In my spare time I enjoy spending it outdoors with friends to live a healthy, balanced and focused lifestyle, all whilst making the most our beautiful country has to offer. I look forward to thriving within medical teams throughout my career and I am excited about putting my best foot forward, contributing to the NZ healthcare system.
