About

I am a Foundation Dentist currently working in a multidisciplinary practice in Buckinghamshire. I am passionate about delivering patient-centred care grounded in understanding, empathy, and trust. I graduated from King’s College London in 2025, where I engaged in research exploring the relationship between bulimia nervosa and oral health, as well as the psychological impact of non-surgical aesthetic treatments on self-esteem.
