I qualified from King’s College London in 2008 and completed my Foundation Training followed by a year as a Maxillofacial Surgery Senior House Officer. After spending a year working in Australia and travelling through Southeast Asia, I returned to the UK and have been based at my current practice for over 10 years.

As a trainer, I’m committed to supporting the transition from dental school to clinical practice. I offer an open-door policy and a supportive environment that encourages learning, growth, and professional development. My goal is to help you become a confident, competent, and ethical clinician, equipped with strong clinical skills and sound judgement.

I have a particular passion for digital dentistry and enjoy sharing this with trainees—introducing various intraoral scanners and demonstrating how to use the CEREC system to design and mill crowns. I also have a keen interest in cosmetic and general restorative dentistry.

Outside of the surgery, I enjoy reading, playing sports, and travelling.

After graduating from the University of Birmingham in 2011, I began my vocational training in Bedford and soon went on to achieve membership with the Faculty of Dental Surgeons at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh in 2013.
I’ve been part of The Luton Dental Centre team since September 2012, and over the years, I’ve really enjoyed creating a friendly and relaxed environment where patients feel at ease. I have a strong focus on preventative care and genuinely enjoy all areas of general family dentistry—especially helping children enjoy their first dental visit and making it a positive, memorable experience!
I’m passionate about continuous learning and always eager to expand my skills. I’m fully qualified in facial aesthetics and regularly provide both wrinkle-softening treatments and dermal fillers.
Outside of dentistry, I love travelling, spending quality time with my daughter, and exploring new places with my family, we're always on the lookout for our next adventure!
Mentorship has always been close to my heart. I take great pride in supporting others in their professional growth and development. I have an open-door policy and firmly believe that no question is ever too small. Currently, I’m mentoring two Foundation Dentists, working closely with them to build their knowledge, boost their confidence, and help them prepare for life as independent NHS associates. This hands-on experience has given me a strong foundation in guiding and supporting newly qualified dentists as they transition into practice.
