I am a veterinary graduate with experience in mixed clinical practice, now embarking on a veterinary research and teaching career to give back to the community and future veterinary professionals joining us in practice. My research interests focus on communication, leadership, teamwork, resilience, wellbeing, and mental health within the veterinary profession. I am passionate about teaching communication and professional skills, and I am dedicated to enhancing the student experience and promoting educational excellence through evidence-based methodologies and technologies.

My teaching philosophy centers on creating an engaging and supportive learning environment where students can thrive. I believe in the importance of active learning, fostering critical thinking, and encouraging open communication. By integrating real-world scenarios and interactive technologies into my teaching, I aim to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of veterinary medicine. My goal is to inspire and equip future veterinarians with the skills and resilience needed for a successful and fulfilling career.
