The Journey So Far - Medicine Meets the Mountains
Born and raised in Darug country, I have always been lucky to be deeply connected to my Aboriginal heritage. This profound sense of identity and community became the foundation of my medical career, shaping my perspective towards health and wellness. Every step in my journey has reinforced my commitment to enhancing healthcare outcomes for First Nation people.
Taking medicine outside the traditional hospital setting, I've started to explore the field of adventure medicine, where healthcare meets the wild and unpredictable. Whether treating patients in the scorching Outback or exploring how the human body adapts to harsh conditions, every expedition has been a testament to human resilience and innovation in healthcare delivery. Through these adventures, I am hoping not only refined my medical skills but also learned the value of adapting and persevering in challenging environments.
My passion for advocacy, exploration, and innovation goes beyond the clinical and into the spheres of First Nation rights, natural beauty, and technological advancements. I spend my time off the medical trails exploring the world's National Parks, marvelling at the rich biodiversity, and advocating for their preservation. Simultaneously, I'm exploring how technology can be a powerful ally in advancing healthcare in remote communities, conserving our precious ecosystems, and enhancing our understanding of the world.
