I studied medicine at Newcastle University and have attended the run-through paediatric specialist scheme as well as the London GRID subspecialty pathway where I acquired the dual accreditation for General and Developmental Paediatrics. I am skilled in General, Neonatal and Developmental Paediatrics, Paediatric Neurodisability, Clinical Research and Medical Education.

 

In my day to day practice I work with children with developmental delay, neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism and Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia), complex disabilities and developmental syndromes. I also frequently provide neonatal and general paediatric follow ups.

My additional roles are Trainee Lead and soon to start as Named Doctor for Looked after Children.

 

I live in North London with my family, I love music and playing the piano, reading books about exciting destinations, organising fun travels and watching films and theatrical plays with friends.
