I am a clinical scientist working in screening and diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism. I specialise in the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to measure intermediary metabolites in human fluids to aid diagnosis and monitoring of disease treatment. I have completed a PhD at the University of Auckland on a project to improve newbo9rn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia and was awarded the Vice Chancellors award by the University of Auckland for my PhD manuscript. I am also a fellow of the Royal College of Pathologist of Australasia Faculty of Science by examination.
