I work in the field of oral surgery within a hospital and primary care setting. I completed my undergraduate training from the University of Birmingham in 2017. 
During my time working in hospital, I have developed a keen interest in oral medicine and the  management of mucosal lesions. My work on differential diagnoses of lip swellings has been published in the Aesthetics Journal. 
Alongside my surgical training, I have completed a post graduate certificate in dental education and provide local and regional teaching for my colleagues. I am also leading a research project comparing lingual frenectomy outcomes in neonates and adolescents.
