My pathway to becoming a Board Certified CREI Fertility Specialist began in Melbourne at Monash University, where I earned my bachelor degrees in Medicine and Surgery graduating with Honours in 2004. I commenced vocational training as a Gynaecologist and Obstetrician at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, completing a Masters of Medicine in Reproductive Health Science and Human Genetics at The University of Sydney in 2009.

I completed my PHD in Preconception Health Promotion and Reproductive Genetics in 2016, which took me to the University of Cambridge as a visiting research fellow. Here I was able to continue my exploration in Preconception Genetic carrier Screening and applying IVF for the purposes of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, a field of interest that remains a significant passion.

Once a qualified specialist Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, I undertook 3 further RANZCOG (Royal Australia and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) accredited years of training to attain Certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (CREI). CREI is the highest possible post-graduate qualification in the field of IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologies in Australia and New Zealand, currently held by fewer than 2% of practicing Australian Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
