MB BS 2013 Newcastle; FRNZCGP 2023

Originally from Zimbabwe, I graduated from Newcastle University Medical School in the UK in 2013, then went on to work and train primarily in surgical specialties for the next 6 years, both in the UK and in New Zealand, with most of my time spent working in plastic and reconstructive surgery. I moved into general practice in 2019, completing the vocational training programme in 2022.

With my background in plastic and reconstructive surgery I have always had a keen interest in skin cancer medicine and surgery, and carry out a wide variety of procedures under local anaesthetic, including complex flap and graft reconstructions. I also perform surgical procedures for non-cancer-related problems, including benign skin lesion removal, minor hand surgery (including carpal tunnel surgery and trigger finger releases), and toenail procedures.

I am a member of the Skin Cancer College Australasia and the New Zealand Skin Cancer Doctors Society, and am a registered GP with Special Interest (GPSI) in skin cancer surgery for the WellSouth Primary Health Network.
