I grew up in Lincolnshire and attended school in Stamford, before moving on to the University of Bristol where I studied medicine from 1995-2001, graduating with MBChB (Hons).

I undertook my post-graduate training in ophthalmology at hospitals throughout the south-west of England, and completed this in 2012 when I was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (FRCOphth).

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my young family, playing squash, and running cross-country ultramarathons.

I have worked as a consultant ophthalmologist with Newmedica since 2014.
