I began working in dentistry as a dental nurse back in 2016 and discovered I really enjoyed building a rapport with patients and helping them overcome their fears. So much so, I decided to further my career in dentistry and return to university as a mature student. I have now graduated with a first-class honours degree in Oral Health (Dental Hygiene & Therapy) from Queen Mary University of London.
I strive to build trusting relationships with my patients and want people to feel comfortable and confident coming for treatment. I love to find joy in life, and I believe we could all benefit from a little more laughter – even at the dentist!
In my spare time I am very creative, I’m currently putting this to good use renovating my first house, where I live with my husband and our dog – a Mexican street mutt who stole my heart whilst volunteering at a rescue shelter.

Excellent service all round. The reception is warm and welcoming and the team provided me with all possible information. I called at short notice with a painful failed extraction from a previous dentist some years ago. I'm nervous but the whole procedure was virtually without discomfort. I will be a regular for my dental needs ongoing. No pressure selling to rebook. Yes this is a private service but in my opinion they are notably a cut above the rest. Worth every penny.
