PROFILE
As a fourth-year dental student I believe that my BDS training should involve more than just attaining a degree, I see dental school as a place to thrive. I have chosen not to conform to the norm by waiting until graduation to become the best dentist I can possibly be. University has given me the time and the opportunities to accelerate my learning beyond the curriculum, developing my communication, leadership and teamwork skills.
​
In working to fulfil my ambition, I also have a passion for giving something back. Through my extensive charity and humanitarian work, presidency of the KCL Dental Society, external dental learning, and membership of the Universities Royal Naval Unit, I am setting myself on a path to making a positive difference, way beyond the four walls of the clinic.
