Why did you want to become a kids' doctor instead of a doctor for grown-ups?
I have always enjoyed the fun and energy that kids bring to every situation and wanted to be a kids doctor so I could help them live their best lives.
Kids are so resilient and inspiring so it’s a real privilege to work with them every day!
What is your favourite dinosaur?
Probably the stegosaurus because they’ve got all those spikes that make them look scary but actually just ate plants and were probably quite friendly.
What do you do when you’re not being a doctor?
I mostly hang out with my young family including my kelpie, Rusty, going for coffee & pastries, walks, and zooms around the park. I also really enjoy reading and crochet.
If you could pick any superpower what would it be?
It would be pretty awesome to be able to talk to animals and babies to find out what they are all actually thinking.
