Zoe is a proud Darug Boorooberongal woman, from the Western Sydney area and is also a descendant of the Butchulla tribe of Fraser Island. Zoe commenced as a medical intern at Austin Health earlier this year.
“I’d heard great things about Austin, namely its supportive environment. This was very important to me as I was moving from rural placement to metro, and knew this would be a big transition in itself. I wanted to work in a hospital with kind and supportive colleagues, an environment where I felt I could be a safe and caring intern. Austin also has a great reputation for education and research, areas I hope to pursue throughout my career”, she explains.
Zoe had studied and perused various opportunities, however always wanted to follow a career path that challenged and pushed her. She wanted a career where she could be more involved in Indigenous community and health. “I always thought medicine would be a wonderful and fulfilling career. After returning from working overseas, I knew I wanted to be more involved in people’s care. I pursued my medical career which allowed me to get involved in the Indigenous community, where I’ve met so many deadly people”, she says.
