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.
