MB BCh BAO MSc. I am currently working as an ED RMO in Perth, Australia. I completed my NHS Foundation Training in Northern Ireland before flying to Australia and embracing the outdoor lifestyle it has to offer. I have enjoyed competing for my County Hurling and Gaelic Football teams, and have always taken a keen interest in sports. I am a keen traveller and look forward to exploring more of the continent.

As a fluent Irish speaker, I always try to use my Gaeilge chomh minic agus is feidir!
