Podiatrist, Gold Coast Foot Centres

Born and raised in Cairns, Far North Queensland, Jai made the move to the Gold Coast to complete a Bachelor of Podiatry in 2023 at Southern Cross University. Jai has a keen interest in treating a range of foot and ankle conditions, especially those related to sport.

Jai Interest in podiatry stems back to his early childhood where a local podiatrist, and close family-friend, inspired Jai to one day experience the rewarding feeling of helping people get back to doing what they love. This passion lead Jai to spend time shadowing a number of different podiatrists all around South East Queensland while completing his degree.

While completing his degree, Jai was a shoe sales-assistant at the Athlete’s Foot in Tweed Heads. This has provided Jai with an extensive knowledge of quality and appropriate footwear.

Jai is an avid Basketball and Rugby League fan and enjoys watching his Cowboys religiously every week with belief that every new season will be better than the last.
