2013 – 2018

Five years of foundations: anatomy, materials, and my first real patients. Leeds taught me that good dentistry is equal parts science and steadiness.

About
I became a dentist for the mix of precision and people: the quiet craft of getting something exactly right, and the person in the chair who walks out feeling better. The nervous first visits are the ones I care about most, and turning them into easy ones is what I'm proudest of.

Good dentistry is quiet work. Gentle in the chair, plain in the explanation, made to last.

My first year in practice, treating a whole community from anxious first-timers to lifelong regulars. I learned to slow down and listen before I ever picked up a handpiece.
