After starting my dental career in 2010 as a dental nurse, I decided to broaden my career and graduated from The University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Oral Health in 2020. I was the recipient of dental school prizes in both special needs and paediatric care.

Since graduating, I have worked in private practice across metropolitan and rural South Australia, treating both adults and children. My passion in dentistry lies in creating a relaxing environment for all patients, where their needs and expectations for dental care are met. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and building their “dental home” to create great habits for healthy futures.

I actively keep up to date with current dental knowledge through continuing education requirements, building my skills to benefit both myself and my patients.
In my spare time you can find me exploring the outdoors with my partner and son, or enjoying the company of friends at many of the fantastic restaurants of Adelaide.
