I lived in Brisbane during high school and graduated from Griffith University on the Gold Coast in 2023. Alongside my academic pursuits, I actively participated in various regional communities, undertaking training in Stanthorpe, Townsville, and Charters Towers.
I am passionate about all facets of dentistry, but in particular, I am interested in cosmetic dentistry, which originated from my early fascination with both science and art. Guiding patients to newfound confidence through dentistry while fostering a welcoming atmosphere is what I find most fulfilling.
In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, hitting the gym, and experimenting in the kitchen.
