During my career, I have worked in public and private practice and in regional and tertiary centres. I am currently a senior staff specialist at the Queensland Children’s Hospital, Brisbane and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Queensland. Originally from Tasmania, I started my anaesthetic training there before moving to Queensland. I did further training in Canada and more recently did a research fellowship in France.
I am passionate about research and teaching, promoting anaesthesia as an academic specialty and increasing the community’s knowledge and understanding of our profession. I have worked in various college roles including the Research Committee, the Queensland Regional Committee and the ASM Regional Organising Committee 2024 (co-convenor).
I am looking forward to working with ANZCA Council to address the significant challenges that our specialty faces and to ensure our college continues to be a leader in education, training, quality and safety, professional standards and the generation of new knowledge.
