I work at the intersection of disability support care and artificial intelligence, drawing on years of managing a residential care home and leading a team of 16 support workers. My focus is building practical, human-led AI tools that reduce admin burden for care workers, give families quiet peace of mind through pattern detection, and help clinicians navigate complex medical histories without replacing human judgement. I'm based in New Zealand and keen to connect with researchers, clinicians, and academics who share an interest in ethical, humble AI for disability and support care settings.
