I was born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, and completed my dental degree at Griffith University on the Gold Coast, graduating with a Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Science in 2017 and a Master of Dentistry in 2019. I later returned to Griffith University to complete my Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Endodontics, graduating with Distinction.

During my specialist training, I was actively involved in teaching and clinical supervision of undergraduate dental students. Here, I also conducted a three-year post-graduate research project culminating in a thesis focused on the forces generated within the root canal system during different irrigation agitation and activation techniques. I am a member of the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Endodontists and the Australian Society of Endodontology.

My treatment philosophy is centred on conservative, patient-focused care. I place strong emphasis on helping patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options, while working closely with referring dentists to ensure each treatment plan is clear, collaborative, and tailored to the individual patient.

Between my dental and specialist training, I worked in the rural South Australian town of Port Lincoln, where I enjoyed the relaxed coastal lifestyle and close-knit community, and I am excited to now be part of another regional coastal community in Townsville.

Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active at the gym and watching sport. As an avid sports fan, I am looking forward to embracing North Queensland culture and attending Cowboys home games.
