Dr Dani grew up in Launceston before moving to Melbourne to complete her Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery at Monash University.
After several years working in Victoria—during which she attained a Certificate in Women’s Health from the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists—she returned to Tasmania to achieve her Fellowship in General Practice.
Following her fellowship, Dani worked in the Emergency Department at the Royal Hobart Hospital before travelling throughout Tasmania and across Australia to provide care in areas of medical shortage. Her experience spans urgent care clinics in Alice Springs and Bunbury, remote Indigenous community health services in the Gulf of Carpentaria as well as a clinic on Kangaroo Island.
In 2022, Dani completed the Family Planning Alliance Australia Certificate in Sexual & Reproductive Health. She is passionate about supporting women to make informed choices about their health and provides thoughtful, holistic, and high-quality care throughout each stage of life.
Outside of medicine, Dani enjoys exploring Tasmania’s bushwalks and scuba diving in her spare time.
