Our team

I graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2008 and until now I have worked in many practices across the Midlands region. I became the practice principal of Rotherholme Dental in January 2020, and I am thoroughly enjoying my time in Ashby.

I am always looking for ways to improve my skills and further my career and apart from providing general dentistry I can offer many services in different aspects of dentistry including IV sedation for nervous patients, dental implants for missing teeth and I am a certified Invisalign provider to provide ‘straightening’ of teeth. I thoroughly enjoy every part of dentistry and especially getting to know my patients and providing the best care I can; I am especially good with nervous patients and try to use my calm nature to incorporate this in my dentistry.

In my spare time, I enjoy days out with my wife and young family, going out to eat and following Manchester United (the best football team in the land)!

I qualified in 2008 from the University of Birmingham. Since then, I have worked in dental practices in the Birmingham and Staffordshire areas where I have gained numerous skills before settling here in Ashby. Alongside providing general dentistry I have also completed many courses in cosmetic treatment such as Facial aesthetics and Fillers which I thoroughly enjoy and I offer these services at the practice. I am very kind and gentle to try and give my patients the best experience possible. I love to chat, meet new people and really get to know my patients. In my spare time I am usually spending time with my family which includes my two young children, baking delicious treats or going on holidays.

I qualified in 2016 from Cardiff University and I previously worked for several years at a practice in Kenilworth before joining the team here at Rotherholme. I am committed to providing the highest quality minimally invasive dental care in a gentle manner. I continue to improve my various skills and have completed additional courses in Invisalign and aesthetic composites. I have a keen interest in composite bonding and have plans to begin Implantology training to widen my knowledge of this further. I always try to ensure a kind personal service to my patients. When I am not working, I enjoy participating in many sports particularly football, golf and tennis. I also thoroughly enjoy travelling with my friends and family.

I qualified as a dentist in 2006 from The University of Birmingham and have gained a vast amount of experience in general practice and the community dental service in Nottingham. I enjoy constantly learning and improving my skills, in 2019 I achieved a postgraduate certificate in advanced general dental practice with distinction from the University of Birmingham and I have just completed a year-long Restorative Dentistry course.

I particularly enjoy working with nervous patients and children, finding the challenge of helping worried individuals overcome their fear as satisfying as achieving clinical excellence. Having recently moved to the area I am looking forward to caring for a new list of patients at Rotherholme.

Beyond life in practice, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 sons who are keen rugby players and my hobbies include horse riding and dog walking.

I started working as a dental nurse in 2015 in a busy dental practice in Swadlincote. After working at my previous practice for 5 years, I joined Rotherholme Dental practice in December 2020.
