BIO
As a Senior Consultant in Radiation Oncology I utilise advanced radiotherapy techniques such as IMRT, IGRT, and SBRT to optimise patient outcomes. My professional interests span clinical practice, medical education, research, and mentorship, with a focus on shaping the next generation of oncologists while contributing to advancements in cancer treatment.
Beyond clinical practice, I am passionate about public education on cancer awareness and the integration of whole-person care, including psychosocial support, into oncology. I have had the privilege of working in Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, and Hong Kong before relocating to Singapore.
With a strong commitment to patient-centred care, medical excellence, and innovation in radiation oncology, I remain a lifelong learner.
