About Me

I am a patient-focused cardiology registrar with an interest in interventional cardiology, programming and app development, and have a research focus on integrating artificial intelligence into clinical practice. I hold a Bachelor's with Honours and a Master's degree from Ontario, Canada, as well as a Doctor of Medicine from the University of Melbourne. My goal is to pursue a fellowship in interventional cardiology at a centre that supports advancing my research interests.
