What single thing do you love most about your career?
I love being able to help people and make a real difference in their lives. As a GP, you often support patients through some of their most challenging moments. Being someone they trust and knowing you can have a positive impact, however small, is incredibly rewarding.

Have you received any awards or commendations or been involved in any unique projects or developments?
During my GP training I completed a proactive care placement, working closely with some of the practice’s most vulnerable patients. We took a holistic approach, looking at their overall wellbeing rather than just individual medical issues. It was a hugely valuable experience and the point in my training where I felt I was making the greatest difference. It reinforced why I chose medicine in the first place.

What piece of advice would you give to our pupils as they look at our alumnae stories and consider their own future careers?
Start with the subjects you genuinely enjoy. Building your future around what interests and motivates you makes it far more likely that you will enjoy your career long term. You will be working for many years, so that really matters.

It is also completely fine not to have everything mapped out. Many of my friends were unsure at school, and some have since changed direction entirely. They are all doing well and are happy in their careers. There is no single path to success.

I really enjoy returning to school for alumnae careers events and supporting the next generation of girls as they explore their own ambitions.
