As a local shire girl, she was born and grew up locally, her mum is a local small business owner, and her kids go to school here too. You might see her on weekends chasing her kids around the soccer fields or hanging out at the local park.
As a GP, she loves all of medicine, and the variety and challenge that general practice can provide, from pre pregnancy care to palliative care, every moment can be filled with such emotion and joy. She believes in practicing evidence-based medicine and utilising a preventive based, whole person approach to her practice.
