Profile

I have a three legged dog, a one eyed cat and another cat who is deaf. They are the best pets in the world. My favourite film is probably Inside Out but I like all of the Pixar movies and know most of them off by heart. You can test me if you like!

I work with people who have brain operations.

As a neuropsychologist I work with people whose brains aren’t working properly. This can give them all kinds of problems and can affect their ability to learn new things and remember things from the past. Sometimes we can make things better by cutting out the bad bit of the brain. Sometimes we do this when the patient is awake! but it doesn’t hurt them. Ask me more about this in the zone.

I typically spend about half of my time with patients in the hospital trying to work out what is wrong with their brains and what might be causing their problems and half my time researching ways that we can help them.
