I am an ST3 in West Yorkshire, and an elected member of the Association of Anaesthetists’ Trainee Committee. As part of my role I am co-opted into the SALG committee, and therefore also into ATRG. Within anaesthesia I am interested in obstetrics and perioperative medicine, and am working towards the UCL MSc. When I’m not working, I can be found swimming, biking and running my way around the Yorkshire Dales, training for triathlons, and always searching for the next good coffee stop. I am passionate about anaesthetic trainees having quality representation to help them make the most out of training, including the ability to work flexibly.
