Speaks English

I am a dedicated family GP with a passion for providing comprehensive and compassionate care. After earning a degree in biomedical sciences, I pursued medicine in Belfast and qualified in 2014. In 2022, my family and I relocated to Australia, where we have embraced a new chapter of life.

I have a particular passion for women’s health and am experienced in performing procedures that support and empower women in managing their health and wellbeing. This area of medicine is one I deeply value and strive to deliver with sensitivity and expertise.

As a mother of three young children, I also have a fondness for paediatrics. I combine my personal experiences with professional knowledge to provide empathetic and practical care for children and their families. My approach is rooted in understanding the challenges and joys of parenthood, enabling me to build meaningful connections with the families I work with.

With a keen interest in aesthetic medicine, I am eager to expand my skills in this field in the near future. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my husband, children, and our two dogs, as well as exploring the outdoors through walking and cycling.

Now settled in this beautiful village, I am excited to become an integral part of the community, supporting its health and wellbeing while embracing all that this lovely area has to offer.

Areas of interest:

• Paediatrics
