I graduated from the University of Glasgow and have been practicing dentistry for seven years, initially in the UK and now here in Perth.

I have been a member of the dental team in practices which were both private and public sector. I made the decision to leave the UK and migrate to Australia with my partner in 2017. After travelling around North and South America for six months, we settled in Perth at the start of 2018.

I enjoy practicing all aspects of general dentistry. I am currently completing a Master's in Endodontics, which is a speciality I hope to pursue further in the future. I am always happy to treat nervous patients and find helping them to overcome their fear of the dentist to be a very rewarding experience.

Outside of dentistry, I love taking advantage of the active and outdoor life Perth has to offer, along with the beautiful weather. I enjoy spending time at the beach with friends, running and cooking!
