Professional Experience

Education has always been my foundation. I’ve earned an MBBS, a Bachelor of Health Science (Paramedicine), IMRCS, a PhD in Surgery, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Surgery. I also hold a Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (TAE40122) and several other certifications. My commitment to lifelong learning continues, as I am always eager to study more and further expand my knowledge and skills.

My career has taken me through various hospital settings, where I’ve had the chance to work alongside specialists and manage a wide range of patient cases. Whether as a clinician, paramedic, conjoint lecturer, lecturer, postdoctoral fellow, social worker, or RTO assessor and trainer, I’ve always found fulfilment in mentoring students and helping them grasp complex concepts. Supporting others on their journeys has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.

Each collaboration has been initiated and managed single-handedly, showcasing my dedication and ability to build strong, meaningful partnerships.

With almost a decade of experience in designing and implementing innovative health and leisure activities, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my role as an educator and therapist.

Through my mentoring and supervision of students, including those in research, I have fostered a hands-on approach to learning and development.

In addition to my work in education, I have designed and executed thousands of health and leisure projects through my not-for-profit initiatives. These projects have been implemented in various settings, particularly in aged care and with individuals who have specialized needs. My work focuses on enhancing well-being, promoting social inclusion, and creating engaging activities that cater to diverse groups.
