I graduated with my BDS in 2015’ from the University of Manchester. Following this I went on to complete my foundation training year on the Wirral peninsula. This was later followed by the MFDS at the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians Glasgow in 2017.

I have a keen interest in both general and cosmetic dentistry and have undertaken several post graduate courses including becoming an Invisalign Comprehensive provider. An important part is the future of digital dentistry and this is something I am particularly enthusiastic about. The skills and techniques acquired allow me to provide the latest treatment options to my patients.

Outside of dentistry you will find me either playing/ watching sport; attempting to keep fit; or doing some DIY! My two biggest passions are Liverpool FC and Lancashire County Cricket Club.
