Dentist GDC no. 308383

I qualified from Newcastle University in 2023, following which I remained in the northeast to complete my foundation training. I have a passion for endodontics and restorative dentistry.

Currently, I am completing postgraduate training in endodontics where I will continually develop my skillset to restore teeth to a high standard.

My Instagram page displays treatment and useful information that I have developed.

My hobbies include salsa dancing every week and cycling. I often enjoy travelling to different countries for dance.
