I qualified as a dental surgeon from the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2004 and have held hospital posts in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Paediatric and Restorative Dentistry.
I gained my Membership at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2007 and in 2009 became a specialist registrar in Orthodontics at Charles Clifford Dental Hospital in Sheffield. I subsequently gained my Intercollegiate Membership in Orthodontics and also my registration as a Specialist Orthodontist with the General Dental Council.
