BIOGRAPHY

I am currently an IMT3 Registrar at Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH), with a strong interest in cardiology, particularly cardiac electrophysiology (EP), cardiac imaging, and critical care cardiology. Alongside my clinical work, I have been actively involved in academic medicine, presenting research at international conferences, including a poster presentation at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in 2024. My research has also been published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, focusing on the impact of rate control on outcomes during dobutamine stress echocardiography.
I am passionate about medical education, leadership, and service improvement. For the past two years, I have served as Associate College Tutor for Internal Medicine Trainees (IMTs), supporting trainee development and educational initiatives. I introduced a tabletop simulation programme for IMTs, which was subsequently presented at a national simulation conference, and I have contributed to teaching programmes for final-year medical students. Through these roles, I have developed a keen interest in leadership and change management, with a focus on enhancing training experiences and improving patient care.
