I was born and brought up in the UK and studied medicine in Edinburgh before moving to New Zealand in 2008. I completed gastroenterology training in 2017 following spells in Waikato and Christchurch. I then undertook an advanced fellowship at the Edinburgh IBD unit, where I cared for complex patients with inflammatory bowel disease as part of a highly specialised unit, performed a high volume of endoscopy and took part in further research in this area. I have been a consultant at Waikato Hospital since 2019 where I care for patients with a broad range of GI disease and continue to pursue these research interests.

After multiple international moves over the years, my family and I are excited to have made the Waikato home, and I am passionate about providing outstanding gastroenterology services for our local community.
