I am passionate about the practice of both breast and head and neck radiology and teaching and training in radiology. I enjoy interacting with students at various points on their training path ranging from school students considering medicine as a career to my peers and allied health professionals looking to further knowledge as part of continued education. I strongly believe in international co-operation in teaching. I am a keen observer of the parallels between art and science and myself am a student of Indian classical dance in the tradition of ‘lifelong learning’.
