Interests

My interests include travelling, crafts, music, exercise outside of a gym, and riding my motorbike.

I have a keen interest in supporting those in less fortunate circumstances. I have been on three volunteer trips overseas to East Timor, Malawi, and Haiti. I would love to travel and work across Australia as I believe it is misguided to seek out the attractive corners of the earth while neglecting a population group here in Australia with some of the worst health outcomes in the world. I would love to see health outcomes for Indigenous Australians improve during my lifetime.
