What's one piece of advice you would give to aspiring HealthTech professionals looking to make a difference in the industry?

Don't get caught up in the "shiny tech" bubble. Focus on leveraging tech as a means to an end - an amazing tool to solve actual problems towards improving healthcare for all. This mindset will help you stick to it or pivot if/when necessary, while keeping your solutions user focused, relevant and valuable.

What's your favourite way to de-stress after a busy day at work?

Putter around at home in silence or with some good clean music.

What's your favourite hobby or activity that has nothing to do with your job?

I enjoy all forms of art and creativity - viewing art, exploring music across various genres, doodling space-filling lines, watching stage plays...

Do you have any hidden skills?

I play the violin!
