BIO

I am a UK General Medical Council registered Medical Doctor. I have over seven years of Internal Medicine training in central London with Imperial College Healthcare Trust and Intensive Care training with Royal Brompton Hospital where I was committed to clinical excellence and quality improvement. I am also an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore. I was previously a Commercial Litigator Lawyer specialising in Dispute Resolution at Drew & Napier LLC. I am pursuing a Doctorate of Public Health (DrPH) degree supervised by Associate Professor Mary Alison Durand and Assistant Professor Michelle Lokot to optimise my medical and legal skill sets. I am seeking opportunities to leverage my expertise to make a significant impact on public health initiatives, healthcare regulation, and legal advocacy.

In addition to Public Health research and NHS clinical commitments, I am involved in inner city community outreach programmes for underserved communities and am a governor of an Ofsted “Outstanding” school.
