I have extensive experience working with Cerner Millenium as an Application and Application Integration specialist, having worked on both bespoke solution development and large scale electronic medical record (eMR) implementations. For the last 9 years I have led teams delivering electronic solutions for clinicians in the public health system in NSW.

As a former clinician and clinical manager I am able to bring an informed perspective to eMR solution development with an emphasis on useability and patient safety.

Interests

Apart from work I enjoy much of my time being outdoors. I am an avid all-year-round swimmer and a regular bushwalker and hiker. During the warmer months I enjoy kayaking and camping.

When indoors I love to develop my own websites and exploring the latest technology advancements in healthcare. I also follow a number of sports and I spend time reading .
