Meet The Team

Hi! I'm Vincent, a third-year medical student from Brunel University. I'm honored to join the team at MLAbuddy to help with the development of this innovative platform. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in the field of AI and medical education; excited to get started!

Hi, I'm Rocco — a 4th year medical student at the University of Birmingham with a passion for research and medical education. I'm excited to be part of MLAbuddy, using AI to simplify OSCE preparation, boost confidence, and make revision more engaging and enjoyable for everyone. Outside of medicine, I'm a Formula 1 fan and enjoy playing the piano. Fun fact: I once met an F1 driver in Sainsbury's!

Hi! I'm Beverley. I'm a medical student intercalating in the Cancer Frontiers BSc. I'm particularly interested in oncology, especially in personalising therapies and advancing surgical technologies. Outside of medicine, I love staying active and exploring new ways to grow, and I'm really excited to contribute to MLAbuddy's development through clinical insight and innovation. It goes beyond traditional OSCE prep by using interactive, realistic scenarios to make the real thing feel less daunting. It helps turn all those hours spent on Passmed and Anki into tangible performance and confidence in OSCEs!

I have a deep interest in medtech, medical education, and clinical simulation. I spend most of my time thinking about how AI and well-designed learning tools can make exam prep — and medicine more broadly — less painful and more effective.

MLAbuddy started from watching how OSCE and clinical interview prep is taught and realising the tools weren't keeping up. Built to be voice-driven, AI-powered, and actually adapted to how doctors think and learn — working closely with clinicians to make sure it gets the medicine right.

Hi, I'm Anastasiia, a third year medical student at Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. I'm passionate about cardiothoracic surgery and neurosciences, with an interest in research. I'm excited to be a part of MLAbuddy team and to contribute towards making OSCE preparation and medical learning as supportive and accessible as possible.

Hello! I'm Dhanyata, a fourth-year medical student at UCL. I'm excited to be joining the MLABuddy team and to play a part in empowering the next generation of doctors as we navigate the fourth industrial revolution. My interests lie in the intersection of medicine and technology, especially the use of AI in simulation-based learning... Outside of medicine, I practice karate, a handy reminder that sometimes the best way to tackle challenges is head-on (preferably with good form).

I'm a 4th year medical student at the University of Edinburgh, having completed my first 3 years at the University of St Andrews.

I'm particularly interested in paediatric surgery and in gaining hands-on clinical experience. I'm excited to help shape better OSCE prep and learning tools for future doctors.

I'm a third-year medical student at Imperial College London. I'm interested in neurosurgery and neurological research, especially neurotrauma and tumours, as well as the history of medicine.

Outside of medicine I do a lot of art and sport. I'm excited to be part of MLAbuddy — I think it's an incredibly useful resource for OSCE preparation, and I hope we can help as many students as we can.

Hey there, I'm Emily and I'm in final year! Throughout medical school, I practiced OSCEs with teddies, friends, and by recording myself, but none of these gave me a realistic sense of how I'd perform under exam pressure. I'm really excited to be part of MLAbuddy, providing medical students with a platform I wish I'd had… and sparing myself the embarrassment of watching old videos back!❤️

Hello there! My name is Esme and I'm currently a third year medic at King's College London. I have a rapidly growing passion in surgery and innovation- even better when they cross! I'm currently chasing this interest by learning to code in Python, along side my MBBS course, it makes me excited! Outside of medicine, I love the gym and have always been a creative at heart (completed GCSE and A level art). Maybe I can bring some of that creativity to MLAbuddy :)

I'm excited to be part of MLAbuddy! I'm passionate about healthtech and love seeing it applied to medical education. OSCE prep is tough to organise, but MLAbuddy makes it simple — practice anytime, anywhere with ready-made scenarios. I'm looking forward to helping it grow. Fun fact: I used to compete in Irish dancing and play the saxophone :)

From my own experience, preparing for OSCEs can feel overwhelming; it's often hard to know where to start or how to practise effectively. That's why I'm so excited to be joining MLAbuddy! The use of AI in OSCE preparation and medical education more broadly is an exciting and rapidly evolving space.

Hi! I'm Samhita, an incoming fourth-year med student at UCL, and I'm thrilled to join MLAbuddy! I'm passionate about making med ed more fun and less overwhelming. MLAbuddy turns stressful OSCE prep into something collaborative and enjoyable — it's a total game-changer. I'm especially interested in how AI and emerging tech are shaping the future of learning and surgery, from simulation to robotics.

Hi, I'm Safa, a 4th year med student at Keele with a passion for all things medicine — especially surgery 🩺✨ Fun fact: I play piano and sing opera in my free time! 🎹🎶 I've always loved teaching and mentoring, so I'm really excited to join MLAbuddy and help make revision feel a little less daunting for fellow students 💪

I'm Soma, a 4th year medical student at Plymouth and I'm really happy to join MLAbuddy. I'm fascinated about the prospect of expanding AI in medical education and how this can open up studying for so many people which will make practicing for OSCEs so much easier! I'm really interested in neurosurgery and neuroscience. Fun fact: I was on Operation Ouch when I was younger and that's what first sparked my interest in medicine!

Hiya! I'm Olivia, a 3rd-year medical student at Keele with a keen interest in Oncology and a love for tech. After an amazing experience using MLAbuddy in my own exam prep, I'm excited to help it grow and reach more students.

Hi, I'm Maheen Mahmood, a 3rd year med student at the University of Southampton with a strong interest in medical education and widening participation. I'm really excited to join the MLAbuddy team and contribute to the use of AI to support med students. Fun fact: I love playing piano and going on scenic hikes to unwind! 🎹🥾

Hi, I'm Lucinda — I'm currently in my second year of the Graduate Entry Medicine program at the University of Chester. I completed my undergraduate degree in Medical Science at the University of Sydney, where I majored in Anatomy and Histology, before moving to the UK to continue my studies.

Hey guys, I'm Aahana. I've travelled around a lot so it's hard to say exactly where I'm from but I'm ethnically Indian :) I'm currently in my final year of med school, here at Trinity College Dublin. It's honestly great to be a part of this team cuz OSCEs are hardd, and all help will always be appreciated! I look forward to meeting you all!

Hey guys, my name is Sylvie, a final year medical student at University College Dublin in Ireland. I'm from Jordan and a fun fact about me is I play piano. I'm excited to be part of the team and make these OSCEs much less scary and much more manageable for students everywhere!

I'm a third-year medical student at North Wales Medical School. I'm enthusiastic about teaching and sharing knowledge — I find that helping others understand complex concepts strengthens my own learning.

I'm excited to work with MLAbuddy, building confidence in OSCEs and honing clinical skills in a safe, supported environment before applying them in real patient settings.

I led the end-to-end design strategy for MLAbuddy — defining the visual identity, UX direction, and the overall look and feel of the product. As Lead PM, I work at the intersection of user needs, product thinking, and design craft, making sure every feature we ship is both purposeful and polished. I believe good design isn't just how something looks — it's how it works, and how it makes you feel while using it.
