About Myself
I have always dreamed of working with animals since a very young age. During my high school years my love of animals, combined with my interest in science, led me into veterinary studies at Melbourne University.
I am now a Melbourne based veterinary surgeon in my year of practice, with advanced training and experience in Surgery as well as in Emergency Medicine.
I am a visiting Surgical Consultant at a number of well-established progressive veterinary practices in Melbourne. I greatly enjoy my role of providing a high-level surgery service to my client clinics, which assists them in keeping challenging surgical cases within their premises.
My service is also beneficial to the patients as well as their owners, as their surgical procedure is conducted at their usual veterinary practice.
In addition to my above-mentioned work, I also run a Cranial Cruciate Ligament Replacement Surgery service in the Melbourne Metropolitan Area, based at the practices listed in my Contact section.

Outside the Workplace
My life outside the workplace is as varied as veterinary practice itself. My family is a great source of joy, and my days are often filled with soccer training sessions, driving to matches, recreational outings, and general time together.
A portion of my own time is taken up with not-for-profit community work, which I enjoy.
My immense interest in travelling and experiencing different cultures firsthand has resulted in visits to 36 nations so far. In the future I envisage visiting many more places that I have not been to yet.
My love of literature and sport, and general social involvement round out my interests and hobbies.
