My dental career began in 2009 as a trainee at an NHS practice in the Midlands.

Once qualifying in 2012, I returned to my home town, London, after securing a job at Dawood and Tanner.

I began supporting all clinicians, gaining experience around the practice and after a year or so excelled in surgical nursing working with Fiona Mackillop gaining a great knowledge of Perio surgery and Implants.

In 2015, the opportunity for me to take over as Head nurse arose and I began working in a team of experienced nurses with Dr Dawood. A year later, I took a 3-month sabbatical travelling around South East Asia and, on my return, changed roles once more to become the clinical coordinator, running Andrew and Susan’s diary, all the nurses and helping Alison with general HR management.

It was this type of work that made me realise my passion for business and managed to get on to an apprenticeship programme with I started last year studying for a Chartered management Degree.

I hold an honorary contract with University College hospital and assist Dr Dawood as part of the Maxillofacial team dealing with trauma, Oncology and complex cases.
