Profile
Following the completion of my Bachelor of Science degree, I spent four
years working as an engineer in the off-shore oil industry in the North Sea
and the Middle East. I then studied medicine as a mature student. I funded
myself and supported my family, and graduated with an honors degree. I
have undertaken post-graduate training in the UK, Western Australia,
Victoria and Queensland. I was admitted as a fellow RACP through the
specialist advisory committee (SAC) in Neonatal / Perinatal medicine (NPM)
in June 2008. I then worked for a year as a locum Staff Specialist in
Neonatology at Westmead Hospital, Sydney. I was appointed as a permanent
Staff Specialist at RBWH in February 2009.
I served on the RACP specialist advisory committee for Neonatology /
Perinatal medicine for five years. For three years I was the coordinator of
advanced training for Australia and New Zealand. I have maintained my
interest in medical education and have been training supervisor and project
supervisor to numerous advanced trainees at RBWH. I coordinate the advanced
trainee, basic trainee teaching programs and the registrar orientation
program.
I have an interest in the clinical applications of ultrasound in
Neonatology. I am the Queensland representative for the special interest
group in Neonatology for the Australian Society of Ultrasound Medicine. I
am involved in teaching clinician performed ultrasound to our senior
registrars and have a number of ongoing clinical research projects using
ultrasound in Neonatology.

My non-clinical portfolios include basic and advanced trainee teaching and
registrar orientation. I am also lead consultant for the special care
