Born in England, raised in North Africa, trained in Canada and hailed in Australia before the pandemic, I have been blessed to experience the world and different cultures throughout my life. I completed my degree in Quebec (Canada) and NYC (USA) and I feel so fortunate because my training balances  biomechanics, imaging and surgical exposure. It gives a holistic approach to all kinds of foot and ankle conditions, and it goes from the basics of conservative measures to a referral to the appropriate specialist if needed.

I have been practising podiatry since 2012 and I treat everyone from babies to adults. My skill set ranges from treating skin (dermatological) to bones (orthopaedic) and from ankle to toes conditions. I use multiple tools to diagnose going through the history, clinical exam and prescribing imaging if needed. I firmly believe in a multidisciplinary approach where I work collaboratively with general practitioners, specialists (radiologists and surgeons), allied health practitioners like physios and OTs. I am currently doing my endorsement to be able to prescribe medicine to my patients if needed.
