I am an Academic Dermatologist, Mohs surgeon, and Adjunct Lecturer at the University of New South Wales. Before relocating to New Zealand, I was a Consultant at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, where I provided dermatologic surgery services and trained registrars. My interests include dermatologic surgery, artificial intelligence, and sustainability. As a member of the Environmental Sustainability Group (ESG) of the Australasian College of Dermatologists, I actively collaborate with researchers worldwide on sustainability in dermatology.
