About me

I have worked across the health, education, and business sectors, with a long‑standing interest in making quantitative methods straightforward and accessible. My clinical, forensic, and expert‑witness experience shaped my focus on evidence and reporting standards. I have also contributed to community music‑making through a simplified method of musical participation. The quantitative analysis of musical structure eventually led me to refine a new family of practical quantitative tools designed for live planning and collaborative problem‑solving.
