My career in dentistry began over 13 years ago as a Dental Nurse, and my passion for patient care inspired me to further my training and qualify as a Dental Hygienist. I qualified as a Dental Hygienist from the University of Bari in partnership with APISE Romania in 2018.

I am dedicated to providing gentle, patient-centred care and take pride in helping each patient feel comfortable and confident during their visits. I offer a wide range of hygiene treatments with a strong focus on oral health education and preventive care, aiming to address the root cause of dental issues rather than just the symptoms. I like to adopt a simple, step-by-step approach, working together with my patients towards long-term oral health goals.
