I was born in Aberdeen in Scotland but came to live in Oz when I was 7 years old.

I graduated from The University of Queensland in 1990 and after 7 years in general practice switched to the challenges and stimulation of emergency practice. Originally the position was supposed to be for a couple of months but 10 years later I am still here.

Since 1997 I have worked full time in the emergency centre. My special interests are emergency surgical intervention and ventilator medicine.

I am a member of the college of veterinary scientists in the chapter of Small Animal Surgery.

I am still genuinely excited by emergency medicine and love to come to work to see what cases come our way.
