01 — AN INTRODUCTIONSCROLL TO EXPLORE
01 / THE PERSON

Driven by people.
Built on purpose.

I want to be the kind of doctor who doesn't just treat the problem in front of me, but builds the things that stop it happening to the next patient.

My why. Medicine shows you, up close, where care works beautifully and where it quietly lets people down. I keep noticing the gaps, like the student who has the ability but not the guidance to get into medicine, the person on the street without a hot meal, or the clinician working around a tool that should have been better. I can't see a gap like that and leave it alone. That instinct, grounded in my faith and a belief that ability comes with responsibility, is what drives everything I build.

How I work. I learn by doing. I started my first business before university, founded Dr-Tutor to help others follow the path into medicine, and now sit between the clinic and the business school. Each step has been about turning curiosity into something people can actually use.
