What inspired you to work in sexual medicine?

I was drawn to sexual medicine because it’s a field where I can make a real, immediate impact on patients' quality of life and help them regain confidence, intimacy, and overall well-being.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your career?

Being able to restore sexual function to a patient who battled prostate cancer allowing them to get closer to their previous self.

What is something most people don’t know about you? 

Most people don’t know that I’m an amateur photographer and enjoy capturing landscapes. It’s a great way to slow down, appreciate nature, and find a creative escape from work.

What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

“Always have your next vacation planned.” As physicians, we dedicate so much to our patients, often at the expense of our own well-being. The risk of burnout is real, and having something to look forward to – whether it's a full vacation or even just a long weekend – can be a crucial mental reset. Knowing there’s a break ahead can help you push through tough weeks and remind you that self-care isn’t a luxury, but a necessity.

What would your ideal vacation be?

3-4 weeks in New Zealand, touring the country.
