IVF > Jobs & Resumes > Resumes

I have over 25 years experience in both research and human/animal assisted reproductive technologies. I am an established lab manager/director as well as consultant level embryologist. I have worked in the UK as a locum embryologist at IVF Wales in Cardiff, Herts and Essex Fertility Centre, North Middlesex NHS Fertility Unit, and The Regional Fertility Centre, Belfast. Before returning to the UK, I was the Scientific Director of The Flinders Repoductive Medicine Unit in Adelaide, Australia. I have designed and established IVF units from the 'ground-up'and performed duties as an off site scientific director in such diverse places as Eastern Europe, Middle East and India. I also had full-time employment in the UK at Essex Fertility Centre, London Womens Clinic and Benenden Fertility Centre (which I designed and established).

I am a HFEA licensed ICSI practitioner and pioneered blastocyst and embryo biopsy techniques in the early 90's. I can perform all procedures of a modern IVF unit and I am particularly proud of my ICSI success rates.

I have used all manner of different media, culture conditions and micromanipulation rigs to perform embryological duties and my experience allows me to adapt and ‘fit-in’ quickly to new environments.

If you find yourself in need of a locum, please consider me carefully. I am able to travel but currently only accepting off-site consultancy. I can assist in implementation of quality management systems or laboratory/unit design having established IVF units from conception to fully functional.

I am located in Auckland, New Zealand.
