I think about how things work — the visible parts and the ones nobody talks about. Medicine taught me that the body keeps score. Systems thinking taught me that everything does.
Who is Martha
Perceptive, principled, and probably already three steps ahead. I see patterns where others see noise.
I trained in medicine because I wanted to understand suffering. What I found was that suffering is rarely just biological. It lives in systems, in language, in how we organise ourselves around each other.
So my work runs along a single thread, even when the titles don’t match. Clinical research taught me how systems are meant to work. Patents and a doctoral research programme taught me how to build for the people those systems fail to see. The writing names what the data leaves out. It all does the same job from different angles — surfacing what systems don’t see.
The end-to-end machinery of a trial — qualification, monitoring, deviation, safety. This is the ground I came up on, and the work I'm moving toward next.
Inductive Quotient
Global Suicide Prevention Network / The Lancet Psychiatry
Berlin, Germany
An interactive film in three parts, on pharmaceutical regulatory failure and the neurodivergent experience of being processed by systems. Three doors. Three systems. Built with Remotion.
Door One
Corporate approval
Aduhelm, and what it means when a regulatory pathway bends toward the institution instead of the patient. A building you can walk into and not find the exit.
Door Two
Systemic harm
Regulatory failure as something that grows — slow, structural, rooted. The damage isn’t an event. It’s a condition the system keeps watering.
Door Three
Neurodivergent masking
What it costs to be legible to a system that was never calibrated for you. The performance of fitting, and the data that performance erases.
Currently in production. The finished piece will live here as a walkable case study in regulatory storytelling.
A peer-reviewed credit, two filed patents, and a preprint — most of it pointed at the same question: how do you measure an experience a system was never designed to register?

Clinical training taught me that policy has a pulse — you feel it in the corridor before you read it in the literature. The rest of the record runs across medicine, strategy, security, and diplomacy. Different rooms, one way of thinking.

Certifications & training
MetaVoxa Press is where the systems argument gets made in plain language — essays on healthcare, recognition, and the experiences clinical literature tends to miss.
On the gap between what a body reports and what a system is willing to record.
The difference between being unseen and being unaccounted for — and why it matters clinically.
The threshold
MetaVoxa is the house — research, writing, cartography, and the work that doesn’t fit on a CV. Everything that made the record possible, kept in its own rooms. Step through when you’re ready.
