I bring clinical practice to my teaching, as a current general practitioner at Mount Barker and previously as a Senior Visiting Medical Specialist in the Antenatal Clinic at the Women's & Children's Hospital.

I love teaching students and get great delight from developing innovative ways to make the teaching practical, real, useful and leading to good long term outcomes for both students and ultimately patients.
