I recently graduated in medicine from Townsville, Australia, and I still enjoy writing blogs on medicine and pharmacy-related topics. I appreciate writing about my experience on different placements or topics I'm interested in. As English is my second language, writing blogs is a hobby and a fun challenge!

Doctor & Pharmacist

 
 

I am a pharmacist and recently graduated in medicine at James Cook University in beautiful Townsville, Australia. I am originally from a small French island called Île de la Réunion. I completed my secondary education on the Cambridge system at Saint Charles College in South Africa and then moved on to Rhodes University for my Bachelor of Pharmacy. I achieved a distinction in pharmacy and was honoured to become an Investec Top 100 in Student Leadership. From there, I was accepted at JCU for my Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program. My focus is rural and remote health in Australia.
