ABOUT ME

I am a highly motivated and compassionate Dental Core Trainee currently working at St George’s Hospital in London undertaking rotations in Maxfax, orthodontics, paediatrics, and restorative dentistry. I hold a BDS degree from the University of Birmingham and I have built a strong foundation in all aspects of general practice at my foundation practice under the Berkshire scheme. I am passionate about building a strong rapport with patients, particularly those who are dentally anxious, and I find it incredibly rewarding to see my patients take responsibility for their oral health. I thrive in a team-oriented environment and am a strong communicator, with a genuine enthusiasm for patient education. Committed to continuous professional development, I seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills through courses outside of work. I am also actively involved in the dental community as a committee member for the BACD, where I contribute to the young membership committee and help manage the BACD's social media presence.
