Jennifer Sonter - Podiatrist
Jennifer completed a Bachelor of science from the ANU in Canberra.
She was interested in a career in the health profession, so moved
to the Central Coast, NSW to study podiatry at the University of
Newcastle.
Jennifer graduated in 2010 and is currently completing honours and lecturing in podiatry. Her thesis is a reliability study on a vascular test that is commonly performed by podiatrists.
Jennifer enjoys being a podiatrist because she likes to see how her work can reduce the foot pain of her patients. She likes not being stuck behind a desk all day and meeting lots of different people. No two days are the same.
Since Jennifer moved back to Canberra she has started bush walking. So far she's made her way up most of the hills and mountains in the Territory and she loves taking in the views as the seasons change. She is an avid gardener and enjoys cooking with her own produce.
