Summary
I grew up in the Free State, with a deep seated desire to become a Dentist. I had the privilege of acquiring and completing my dental education at the University of Pretoria in 2008. My career spans almost 10 years. During this time, I discovered a strong passion for further study and continuous development- both personally and professionally. I aim to provide quality dental care; and oral education to our community members.
