Originally from Wales, Tamsin undertook her medical degree in Liverpool, but has been living in Whakatane for the last 16years. She is the Clinical Lead of Whakatane Emergency Department, and was the doctor on shift when Whakaari-White Island erupted. She is a logistics expert due partly to her involvement in adventure racing at the slow end of the field, and partly to having 2 very active teenage boys involved in many sporting activities. She is currently undertaking a Masters in Emergency Medicine alongside working full time.
