Research interests

I have developed a keen interest in research and clinical leadership. I have obtained an MD for my research endeavours and disseminated my work through many peer reviewed publications and academic/ scientific presentations. I have pursued these interests further in my position as a surgical consultant and also formal roles such as educational and clinical supervisor. I am currently the 'surgical college tutor' at Frimley Park Hospital.

Personal interests

I am bilingual, being fluent in both English and French.
I enjoy all sports - Swimming, Football, Rugby and Outdoor pursuits; along with indoors games like scrabble and chess. I am passionate about competitive sports; particularly F1, premier league football and world tournaments. I attend the gymnasium regularly and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.
I am also an avid reader and enjoy travelling – Indian Ocean Islands, India, Europe, USA.
