About

I am a fifth year medical student, at University College London, who has a keen interest in clinical research, medical technology and AI. I have completed an iBSc in Medical Sciences with Management (Honours), from Imperial College Business School, where I was part of several research projects, including a qualitative study investigating the challenges of integrating AI into primary care. I am a keen, ambitious student, and have held multiple positions of responsibility in my university, and this year I am the Chair of UCL Gastroenterology and Hepatology Society. I have also collated several years of tutoring and mentoring experience, as part of tutoring companies, but private tutoring as well
