I was fortunate to grow up in the great Far North and spent my early days in the great outdoors.  I was shipped down to boarding school at Whangarei Boys where I picked up and played every sport under the sun.  Although I enjoyed every sport, I found a passion for those with a rugby ball which developed into the opportunity to take this to a range of levels.  As the story with many Physios, I was brought down by consistent niggles and injuries, still wanting to be involved in the sporting world I decided to make the jump to Otago University to study Physiotherapy.  This is where I found my true passion which was helping people.  Allowing others to stay active, healthy and away from these constant niggles.  After graduating in 2022 I was fortunate enough to move to Tauranga to start this journey. 

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy everything the great outdoors (and Tauranga!) has to offer. Whether it be working out, fishing, learning how to surf, or spending time with friends and whānau.  

I am excited to begin here at the Foundation Clinic to learn from some experienced clinicians and develop my trade as a Physiotherapist and helping people back to do what they love!
