She worked in various hospitals across Adelaide, then undertook rural GP training in South Australia, working in Millicent in the South East, Tanunda and Goolwa.  She obtained RACGP fellowship in 2016.

Dr Nicola loves all areas of General Practice, particularly mental health, dermatology, paediatrics, elderly medicine and palliative care.  

She enjoys getting outdoors with her family and getting creative in her garden.
