Research
I work both as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Wellington hospital and as Fertility Specialist and Gynaecologist at Fertility Associates Wellington. I am also a training supervisor of registrars in O&G at Wellington Hospital.
I teach both in undergraduate and post graduate programmes in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. I completed my Fertility subspecialty training in Wellington and the Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne with a focus on fertility preservation in those undergoing gonadotoxic treatment.
My research interests include Fertility Preservation, factors affecting success rates of fertility treatment and pregnancy after fertility treatment.
