"Having developed something of a passion for the area of Medical Microbiology, I applied for, and was accepted into, the Bachelor of Biomedical Science course at the University of Tasmania in Launceston. Over the next three years, I studied all areas of the captivating field that is Pathology, but maintained my peculiar passion for Medical Microbiology.
At the age of 26 I began lecturing at the University of Tasmania, and enrolled in a part-time Master of Medical Science degree whilst continuing my work at the Hospital."
