Moving to a government position in health provided me with a wealth of knowledge on what resources and tools were available to both practitioners and patients. It was in this position that I began to set myself apart as someone who was intent on continually learning and growing in my field. I believe this is what led me to set up my own practice, Pioneer Podiatry, so that I could continue to grow my expertise while helping others better understand the intricacies of foot and leg care.

Working in the podiatry private sector gave me a rock-solid foundation for learning more about my specialty, but also the ins and outs of running a healthcare practice. In the two years that I was at Entire Podiatry, I firmly established my passion for foot and leg care and learned the importance of creating strong relationships and how to effectively partner with other healthcare professionals.
