Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.

My current role
I am a consultant in the department of paediatric oncology, haematology and palliative care, looking after children with a broad range of cancers. Within oncology, I have a special interest in teenage / young adult cancer care (including transition) and bone marrow transplant / CAR-T therapy.
Additionally, I am the palliative care liaison for the paediatric haematology / oncology department and have input into the development of a regional paediatric palliative care service.
I hold a master's qualification in medical education from Cambridge and teach both professionalism and clinical communication skills for the University of Cambridge.
Previous history
I went to medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX and completed a paediatric residency programme at University of Texas Dell Medical School in 2015. Since moving to CUH in 2016, I have undertaken postgraduate fellowship training in TYA haematology / oncology and bone marrow transplant prior to joining as a substantive consultant in February 2021.
