I graduated from University of Sydney in 1984, and my journey to becoming a Specialist in Veterinary Dermatology began from a background of over 10 years working in general practice, and an initial desire to understand skin disease better, and provide better outcomes for my patients. Since passing fellowship exams with the ANZCVSc in 2003, I have worked in private and university referral practice, and am passionate about helping improve understanding of skin disease in our veterinary patients, and helping veterinary students and vets improve their dermatology skills.
