Medical Trustee
Katie is a Specialist Paediatric Dentist working in private practice at the Anglesea Medical Precinct and has been a Medical Associate at Braemar Hospital since 2004. She has a long association with the Braemar Charitable Trust, returning to the board as a Medical Trustee in 2020. She also serves as a Director on the Braemar Hospital Board.
Her governance experience includes serving as a Trustee and Director of Medical Assurance Society and also on the New Zealand Dental Association Board, including as President. Katie has a Postgraduate Diploma in Management (Governance) and is a chartered member of the Institute of Directors.
Katie is a strong advocate for the Braemar Charitable Trust and for many years has modeled a behaviour of giving, providing countless hours of pro-bono community surgery for children in urgent need of dental treatment. Her time and expertise, combined with financial assistance from the Trust to cover other costs, allows these children to become free of pain and infection. This has a significant flow-on affect for the whole family once children are able to eat, sleep, learn and play without dental pain.
