I am a clinical cardiologist practicing in the North Shore and Westmead. I graduated in Medicine from the University of Newcastle in 2000 and undertook my initial clinical training at Concord Repatriation General Hospital and went on to complete my Cardiology training at Nepean and Westmead Hospitals.
I undertook PhD studies in London, UK from 2008-2011 at the University of London, supported by a British Heart Foundation grant, on the subject of atrial fibrillation. I also had my initial training in clinical cardiac electrophysiology and ablation at St Georges Hospital in Wimbledon, London. I worked in specialised areas of cardiology including inherited and congenital cardiac conditions, cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators.
I returned to Australia in 2011 and am working as a General Consultant Cardiologist at the Sydney Adventist Hospital and also at Westmead Private Hospital with consulting rooms in Hornsby Diagnostic Unit and Westmead Private Cardiology.
I am currently completing my clinical electrophysiology training at Westmead Hospital with a focus on ablation of cardiac supraventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation. My other areas of interest within the field of cardiology include management of resistant hypertension, pregnancy related heart conditions, pulmonary hypertension, valvular heart disease and echocardiography.
I have ongoing research projects and continue to publish in peer reviewed cardiology journals in the field of cardiac arrhythmias and teach for the Royal Australian College of Physicians examinations and Sydney University Medical School.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Physicians, the Cardiac Society of Australia and the European Heart Rhythm Association. Outside of cardiology, my interests include classical music, tennis, golf and oenology.
