Leaving her hometown, she laid a solid foundation in her medical studies, setting the stage for the next steps in her career. In her clinical years, based in Griffith, she’s putting theory into practice. Working directly with healthcare professionals, she’s gaining invaluable hands-on experience, seeing first-hand the importance of accessible healthcare in regional Australia. These experiences have only strengthened her resolve to serve communities like her own.

She co-founded Boots to Scrubs, aiming to encourage and support others, especially those from rural areas, to consider careers in medicine. As Vice Chair, she mentors aspiring healthcare professionals, hoping to bridge the gap in opportunity for individuals from remote communities.

With her unique perspective as a regional student, she understands the obstacles and opportunities that come with studying in a rural setting. Through her ambassadorship, she’s helping students from all backgrounds see what’s possible when you follow your dreams.
