I am American born, but Australian trained doctor who has now spent longer living in Australia than in America! My special areas of interest are: Lifestyle Medicine, Skin Health and Aesthetic Medicine, and Neurodiversity. With all my travels, I still think the view across the Swansea Channel out to the heads is one of the most beautiful on earth. My interests outside of medicine are gardening, travelling and anything you could count as an adventure. The root of the word happiness is "happens".
