Biography

I was born and raised in Hong Kong. After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, I started specialty training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Tuen Mun Hospital in Hong Kong.  I undertook subspecialty training in Urogynaecology at the same location and became an accredited Urogynaecologist in Hong Kong.  I came to Australia and I undertook a PhD in Medicine with the University of Sydney and awarded a PhD in 2010. The subject of my thesis was the effect of childbirth on the pelvic floor.
