Jenny is a passionate educator, affiliated with the University of Melbourne and the RACGP. She works closely with student doctors to support their continuing learning and development and acts as a GP registrar supervisor.  She is also continually adding to her own knowledge base, and actively keeps on top of the latest evidence in medicine and wellbeing.

Jenny lives in Melbourne with her husband and three small children, who are all proud and noisy Scottish-Australian citizens. When not at work or spending time with her family, Jenny can be found swimming in the bay (yes, even in the winter months!). You may also find her running around the Inner West. She also enjoys a good book and, when COVID restrictions permit, the company of friends.
