Growing up in Brisbane it was natural for me to attend the University of Queensland. I graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science,in 1993, and received a scholarship with Queensland Health. This allowed me to see life in different areas of Northern Queensland. After moving into a private practice in Cairns, I joined Carrara Dental practice in 1995. In 1996 the Carrara Dental Practice moved to Merrimac and in 2002 became Totally Dental. I am currently an associate dentist with a main focus on providing excellent general dentistry.
