Ryan is a nurse practitioner at Tend Symonds Street. He began his nursing career at Starship Hospital, primarily working in surgical services. Since 2016, he has gained extensive experience in primary care across various clinics, providing healthcare to diverse populations throughout all stages of life.

Ryan has a special interest in children and youth health, women's health, LGBTQIA+ health, and managing long-term conditions. He has recently focused on expanding his knowledge and skills in women’s health, recognising it as an underserved area within primary care.

As a clinician, Ryan values the importance of building relationships with patients and supporting them through their health journeys.

In his spare time, Ryan enjoys hiking, spending time outdoors, traveling, relaxing with friends and his cat, Binx.

My favourite part about working in health is the relationship building and walking alongside people to support their health.
