I graduated from the University of Leeds, U.K. and worked for one year in the U.K. before relocating to Australia. I chose to pursue a career in dentistry because it combines science with the practicality of art, mixed with the joys of helping people! As a child, I was actually scared of the dentist which I believe I use to my advantage with understanding & treating nervous patients effectively. I enjoy general dentistry but I have a particular interest in short-term orthodontics (adult braces/aligners), restorative dentistry and endodontics (root canal treatment).Outside of dentistry I thoroughly enjoy keeping active and being outdoors. Freestyle skiing & snowboarding is particular passion of mine, as well as any other board related sport! Additionally, I compete in Crossfit events. I love exploring new places around the world as well as learning new languages. Cooking & eating great food is something I have a weakness for which means I will often be found in the staff kitchen when not in my surgery!
