I’m married to James and work in the practice on a Friday; this allows James to be elsewhere teaching, catching up on paperwork or bird watching!

I qualified at Newcastle University, where I met James and where I also worked for a time as a locum in the Children’s Dental Health Department of the Dental hospital.

I moved to Teesside, completed a MFGDP Diploma and worked as a trainer mentoring newly qualified dentists. James and I married in 2005 and have 2 daughters Isabel and Malin.

When I’m not at work I enjoy walking in North Yorkshire and Northumberland, gardening and spending time with the family. When I get the chance I also enjoy going to the cinema and meeting friends for dinner (without washing up, what a treat!)
