I was drawn to an area of medicine that allows me to make a profound impact on the lives of individuals and couples who are navigating the challenging journey towards having a baby. My understanding of the emotional rollercoaster that infertility can bring have led me to specialise in this field.
The combination of compassion with scientific curiosity led me to pursue a career where I could apply my knowledge and skills to assist those wanting to have a child. I endeavour to provide every patient with support, guidance, expertise and honest advice to help them fulfill their dreams of starting or expanding their family.
Helping women and men who have just been diagnosed with cancer, plan and offer hope of future reproduction is a real privilege. My patients’ courage, in the face of life changing and often unexpected adversity, is truly inspiring.
I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, especially being super active and challenged with outdoor activities like Parkrun. I also enjoy a bit of quiet solitude when I can get it, reading books and listening to podcasts.
