About me
Growing up surrounded by medical professionals sparked a lifelong mission to help other young people through groundbreaking treatments and technologies. I plan to complete my studies to become a doctor, where I can integrate emerging technologies, including diagnostic tools and treatment options, to better support the communities that need it most. I strive to break the stigma around doctors and healthcare, especially for Indigenous people in rural communities, and to prove that healthcare is constantly changing for the better, and that seeking help shouldn’t be a fear that so many people face daily. By removing these stigmas, I hope to ensure that healthcare is accessible to all Australians, and that the benefits of innovation and technology can be felt by everyone.
I'm excited to create a more accesible healthcare system, allowing for rural and Indigenous communities to feel the ongoing and positive affects of research, innovation and technology
