I am a South African-trained medical doctor, currently working towards gaining registration to practice medicine in New Zealand. I have worked in both emergency medicine and general practice, gaining broad exposure to a wide range of pathologies—from third world infectious diseases to first world chronic disease management.
In 2019, my partner and I moved to New Zealand with our two daughters, and we now call Bethlehem home. I feel deeply connected to our community and am eager to contribute to its well-being.
I am passionate about lifestyle medicine and preventive care, advocating for balanced living through nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being. I believe in partnering with patients to empower them to take an active role in managing and improving their health. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, gardening, and baking with my daughters.
