About

I'm passionate about solving healthcare challenges through technology and innovation. Growing up in rural Northland gave me an early appreciation for the challenges of accessing healthcare, which continues to shape my commitment to improving how care is delivered. My career has taken me from clinical medical imaging into commercial MedTech, where I partner with healthcare teams to introduce technologies that improve clinical workflows and support better patient care. I enjoy bringing together clinical insight, commercial strategy and customer perspectives to turn complex problems into practical, scalable solutions. I'm particularly interested in digital health, healthcare innovation and developing solutions that improve access, experiences and outcomes for both clinicians and patients. I'm always keen to connect with people who are passionate about the future of healthcare, digital health and innovation.
