I graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (Honours) in 2013 and have been a full-time employee of National Dental Care since early 2014.

I am a caring and dedicated dentist with competency, skills and experience across all facets of clinical and general dentistry. In order to provide the highest quality of care to my patients, I am efficient in utilising the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment which allow me to produce same-day crowns and ceramic restorations, diagnose early stages of decay with our Diagnocam and show you detailed images of dental conditions within your mouth with our intra-oral cameras.

I am competent in performing Invisalign treatment which allows me to offer my patients a virtually invisible and effective approach to straightening their teeth. I am very passionate about providing excellent patient care and my focus is always on what is best for my patients.

I also have a proven ability to calm and reassure even the most anxious of people.
