Ben is currently living in Dubbo, and studying medicine at Sydney University, where he regularly reads X-rays back-to-front, and mixes up the bones of the hand. When he’s not trying to make the world a better place, he goes out of his way to avoid making it a worse place by staying at home and trying very hard to not touch anything that looks like it might be important.
Ben hopes to one day own several dogs and work in a job that welcomes employees that bring several dogs to work with them. His goals include helping more people from diverse backgrounds get into medicine, improving mental health in medical professionals, and always remembering to call his Mum on her birthday. When asked to describe himself in a single word, he said “Ummm.”
