Summary

I am a highly motivated medical registrar who is currently undertaking Adult Basic Physician Training at Eastern Health with a view to sit the FRACP clinical exam in 2025. I am enthusiastic about pursuing a career in Neurology, and have progressed my interest by becoming a junior affiliate of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists (ANZAN), attending the 2023 ANZAN ASM, and continuing my involvement in research, with a particular interest in neuroimmunology. Besides my commitment to excellent and compassionate patient care, I enjoy teaching medical students and the multidisciplinary nature of inpatient medicine.
