I began my dental career as a Dental Nurse in 2011 and particularly enjoyed assisting colleagues on primary school visits where my passion for oral health education began.
In July 2017 I qualified as a Dental Hygiene Therapist from Kings College Dental Hospital with distinctions in modules including Dental Public Health. I have a continued passion for educating children in the importance of a healthy mouth and with my dual qualification as a Dental Therapist carry out treatments including dental restorations and tooth whitening.
I enjoy treating patients with periodontal disease (gum disease) helping them achieve and maintain oral health whilst preventing tooth loss and decay. I have also taken an interest in working with nervous patients offering a calming and empathetic approach to hygiene treatment.
In my spare time I enjoy swimming, walking my dogs and taking pottery classes.
