Dr Danni

I write this as I'm sitting next to my little sister Jordan, in an auditorium at the Parramatta Campus of the University of Western Sydney. My big sister Danni is graduating from her Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree but the graduation process is beginning to drag on a bit so I thought I may as well kill two birds with one stone and churn out my weekly blog in the meantime.


Danni has always wanted to be a Doctor for as long as I can remember. As kids, when Mum and Dad asked us what we wanted to be when we were older, my answer was always that I wanted to be Olympic champion, and Danni's was that she wanted to help people and be a Doctor. I'm still a long way off reaching my goal but today, after knuckling down throughout primary and high school and now 5 years of university, Danni has reached hers.

It’s taken me a couple of day’s to get around to writing this blog. If you’ve ever done long-haul international flights, you’ll know that they are comprehensively exhausting.
I’m back in State College after a 16 hour travel day yesterday that involved a flight to Pitt via Phoenix and then a car ride home. I had an awesome couple of days on the Canadian west coast and I’ll fire off a quick recap.
Commonwealth Games representative Julian Wruck has had the leading performance of Australian collegiate athletes competing at the NCAA championships, winning the discus.
A big thank you to everyone who offered me support and advice over the last few days. It’s been a pretty wild ride.
