Summary

I am currently a PGY3 registrar at Whangārei Hospital, applying for non-SET registrar positions for the 2026 year.


I am a dedicated and hard-working junior doctor with a good foundation of both clinical knowledge and procedural skills. My clinical experiences so far have equipped me with the ability to provide effective care in high pressure environments.


I take pride in my strong work ethic and recognize the importance of collaboration with other team members. Above all, I prioritize patient centred care and am committed to improving health outcomes for the Northland community.
