Originally from England, I began my career with a Science degree at Sussex University in England, then a degree in Dentistry in the London Hospital Medical College at the University of London. I also completed diplomas at the Royal College of Surgeons England and the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.​

I migrated to Australia permanently in 1999 to study Medicine at the University of Sydney, and soon developed a passion for cosmetic surgery, and went on to complete fellowships in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
​
My experience working with patients requiring facial reconstruction due to injuries and deformities inspired me to complete a fellowship in cosmetic surgery with the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery.
​​​
Throughout my career, I have performed a range of complex humanitarian surgeries overseas as a Surgeon Commander with the Royal Australian Navy.

As a cosmetic surgeon, I take very seriously my role in improving patients’ quality of life and confidence in their appearance.

My complementary specialisations in Oral, Maxillofacial and Cosmetic surgery enables me to deliver a natural looking result through over 20 years of experience working with both the superficial layers and the muscular structure of the face and body.
​
This gives my patients confidence that their surgery will deliver the result they seek, with a healthy, natural look.
