Summary

Growing up in rural NSW has taken me on many journeys, and each step has offered lessons for personal development. Traveling for both school and university studies has allowed me to experience the contrast between metropolitan and rural standards and socioeconomic hurdles when accessing healthcare. I have found it has provided me with a more rounded understanding for not only a rural community’s needs, but also its relationship with the health profession.
