Despite being very academic at school, I would say it is sport that shapes me the most. I play a lot of cricket as well as run and swim competitively. From the importance of discipline and consistency to being coachable. Even my curiosity comes from a sporting instinct to always be on the look out for ways to learn and improve.

I’m also a very passionate reader, with Murakami and Bryce Courtenay being two of may favourite authors. I find books a great way to wind down as well as explore other cultures and perspectives. They help provide great conversation material and keep me from scrolling! I’m also a big fan of art of all kinds, particularly ceramics. I’m partial to an exhibition and I wish I had the time to create more of my own art .

In terms of my future as a doctor, I haven’t committed to a particular speciality. However, I am really passionate about population health and improving lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise for those in more deprived areas.

I don’t have any pets but there are 4 cats next door and I am unashamedly a cat person. Fun fact: I’ve lived in the same house for my whole life!
