ABOUT ME
I'm a diagnostic radiographer, PhD researcher, content creator and someone living with Crohn's disease. My unique perspective allows me to understand inflammatory bowel disease from both a clinical and personal standpoint—bridging the gap between medical evidence and everyday life.
I created The Grumbling Gut to make trusted health information more accessible, helping people better understand Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis through evidence-based education, lived experience and compassionate communication.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting someone with IBD or simply looking for reliable information, my goal is to help you feel more informed, empowered and less alone.
CROHN'S PATIENT
Living the Reality Behind the Research
Living with Crohn's disease has shaped both my personal life and professional perspective. I understand the uncertainty of diagnosis, the challenges of managing a chronic condition and the importance of having access to reliable, easy-to-understand information. My own experiences are at the heart of everything I create, helping me connect with others through honesty, empathy and shared understanding.
PhD RESEARCHER
Advancing Knowledge Through Research
As a PhD researcher and diagnostic radiographer, I'm passionate about improving the understanding and management of inflammatory bowel disease. My research allows me to stay at the forefront of emerging evidence while developing the skills to critically evaluate new studies and translate complex medical information into practical, accessible education for patients and healthcare professionals alike.
CONTENT CREATOR
Making Medical Information Understandable
Through The Grumbling Gut, I create evidence-based content that simplifies complex topics surrounding Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel disease. Across social media, my goal is to educate, empower and reassure by combining clinical knowledge with lived experience, helping people make sense of their condition and feel less alone.
AUTHOR
Sharing Knowledge Beyond Social Media
Writing allows me to explore topics in greater depth than short-form content ever could. Through articles, newsletters and future educational resources, I aim to provide clear, practical guidance that helps people better understand IBD, navigate their healthcare with confidence and stay informed about the latest developments in research.
