I strive to bring education to being the first step in caring for oral health. Focusing on hygiene and therapy, my goal is to approach care in an interactive way to find a tailored solution to each individuals hygiene routine.
I was born and raised in Coonabarabran, and love moving to new places for opportunities. I previously lived in the Wagga Wagga area, and I enjoy moving around.
Aside from work, I enjoy playing and creating music, travelling to bakeries, and Star Wars.
