"Since graduating in dentistry from 'Barts and the London' University in 2013, I have moved from London to Lincoln and in 2015 achieved my RCSEd. As a healthcare professional I aim to prevent, diagnose and treat oral diseases and problems that affect the mouth and teeth. In addition to helping promote oral health, as part of a team I really enjoy caring for a wide range of patients, providing a patient-centred, friendly and relaxing therapy.

Since moving to Lincoln I have started horse-riding weekly embracing the new and exciting opportunity to develop and enjoy different experiences. I thoroughly enjoy swimming and go regularly to the pool and have in recent years competed and won numerous medals and certificates. I take pleasure in my work and have a keen interest in cosmetic treatments including: white fillings, veneers, crowns, bridges and teeth whitening. I have also completed the first stage of Toxins (Botox) and Dermal Fillers training. I like to use my life gained knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding of scientific and clinical principles toward the prevention, alleviation and management of oral diseases, to help improve the oral healthcare of the future!"
