Patrick graduated from Auckland University of Technology in 2019 with a degree in podiatry. His journey into podiatry was influenced by a lifelong passion for helping people and promoting healthy lifestyles. Growing up playing various sports like tennis, golf, and soccer, Patrick developed a deep appreciation for the importance of lower limb health and its impact on overall well-being.

 

During his time at university and through his sports activities, Patrick became particularly interested in musculoskeletal injuries and the surgical aspects of podiatry, such as nail and verruca surgery. He found great satisfaction in using his podiatric skills to help individuals recover from injuries and enhance their quality of life. His compassionate nature and desire to empower others to achieve their goals through better health drove him to specialise in podiatry.

 

Before transitioning to podiatry, Patrick pursued a career in marine biology, drawn to the underwater world through his love for scuba diving. This background provided him with a unique perspective on biomechanics and physiology, which he now applies to his podiatric practice.

 

Outside of his professional life, Patrick remains active and engaged in his hobbies. He continues to play tennis regularly, finding joy in the sport's competitive and social aspects. Fishing is another passion that allows him to unwind and connect with nature. His love for scuba diving persists, providing him with opportunities to explore the ocean's wonders and maintain a deep connection to his marine biology roots.

Overall, Patrick's diverse interests, from sports and outdoor activities to his professional dedication to podiatry, reflect his commitment to health, wellness, and helping others lead fulfilling lives.
