Teresa is a highly-trained medical doctor who earned her degree from the University of Otago in 1989.

Since then, she has pursued additional qualifications in obstetrics and paediatrics, in addition to completing her general practice training in 1995.

With over two decades of experience as a GP in Pakuranga, Teresa is passionate about building lasting relationships with her patients and getting to know them as individuals. She has a special interest in women's health and eating disorders, and she also cares for residents in a local rest home, demonstrating her commitment to aged care.

Outside of her work as a doctor, Teresa is an avid reader, gardener, and foodie who loves to experiment with new recipes. She has a beloved King Charles Spaniel whom she enjoys walking on a regular basis. Her diverse interests and compassionate approach make her a valuable member of the Pakuranga community.

With over two decades of experience as a GP, my passion lies in building lasting patient relationships and understanding them as unique individuals.
