About
I'm a clinician-researcher and entrepreneur working at the intersection of gastroenterology, health technology, and medical education. As a Senior Gastroenterologist at Peninsula Health, I specialise in inflammatory bowel disease and perform endoscopy as well as intestinal ultrasound.
As Chief Clinical Officer at Lyrebird Health, I bring clinical rigour to AI-powered clinical documentation - stress-testing AI against real clinical practice daily. I'm also a member of the AIDH, MSIA and ADHA Expert Advisory Group for AI, contributing to national conversation and policy on artificial intelligence in healthcare.
In 2002, I co-founded MedEntry, now Australia's leading medical school entry preparation company, which has helped hundreds of thousands of young people launch careers in health across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland.
