I have a special interest in the finance and economics of healthcare. I am a former fixed income trader, Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) charter holder, with a Master’s degree in analytical finance.

In my free time, I have an active lifestyle of body and mind, from cycling outside when weather allows to Zwifting when it doesn’t. I enjoy meditation, hiking, yoga and reading.
