I was educated in Dublin, Ireland and graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1988. I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. My higher degrees include a MChir(MD) in breast cancer surgery from University College Dublin and a Dean's List PhD in Plastic Surgery from the University of Queensland in head and neck cancer surgery.

I started my General Surgical training in 1989 and in 1994, plastic surgery training in St. Vincent's Hospital and St. James's Hospital in Dublin, Ireland. I then moved to Canniesburn Hospital, Glasgow, Scotland in 1996 to work with Mr. David Soutar. This was followed by a 22 months Hand Fellowship in The Princess Alexandra Hospital in 1998. I returned to Dublin in 2000 to complete my training in The National Craniofacial and Congenital Hand unit in the Mater Hospital and The Temple Street Children's Hospital in Dublin.

I then returned to Brisbane in 2001 to complete my PhD and in 2003 resumed clinical work as a Senior Lecturer for the Head and Neck Unit and as a Plastic Fellow/Research in the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

I am also a scientist with the Melanoma Genomic Group and Drug Discovery Group in the Queensland Institute of Medical Research for the past eight years developing new novel therapies in treating skin and head & neck cancers. I currently actively supervise research programs in QIMR and have published a series of leading articles in these fields.
