Her academic journey also includes a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master of Health Management, and she is currently pursuing post-graduate studies in Sleep Medicine at the University of Oxford.

Will was born into a family that held public service as a core value, shaping his worldview from a young age. He grew up traveling the world, following his father's work with UNICEF, which instilled in him a deep sense of purpose. Initially, he trained to be a doctor in the UK, drawn by the potential for travel and the impact he could make through medicine.

After moving to New Zealand, Will transitioned to psychiatry, a choice that allowed him to reconnect with the humanity he felt was diminishing in traditional medical practice. He is particularly passionate about working with Australian Defence Force personnel, identifying with their values and resilience.

In his role at Soul Medicine, Will finds great fulfillment in supporting those who have bravely served their country. He is dedicated to helping them navigate their challenges and reclaim their lives, honouring the sacrifices they have made in service to others.
