A little about me.
Outside the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family, discovering new restaurants across London and travelling whenever I can. I love exploring different places and cultures, and Ibiza is a particular favourite. I also enjoy running and working out.
I’m mum to my daughter, Delara, who is the most important part of my life outside dentistry. Motherhood has given me a new perspective and deepened my appreciation for patience, empathy and being present, qualities I bring to my relationships with patients and colleagues.
