About Me.
I am a British born Ghanaian and I live in my Liverpool with my husband, and I come from a long line of medical professionals, with both my parents and my brother working as medical doctors in the NHS. Merseyside has been my home for the last 15 years and I have deep roots here, but before Liverpool, I lived in North Wales for 8 years, and before that I lived on the South Coast of the UK. Having grown up amongst a diversity of people has given me the skill of communicating and interact with a wide array of people - which has proved invaluable in my career in dentistry.
​
I believe that everyone has a story to tell. Our story not only speaks about who we are but also about who we are not. I also believe that our stories have a large impact on our health and the decisions we continue to make. As a clinician, I want to know as much of your story as you are happy to share and I want to help you face the next chapter of your story in confidence and with good health.
My Journey in Dentistry.
I graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2013 with Honours, and spent the next few years doing an array of jobs in primary, secondary and tertiary care. While I had originally planned to stay in hospital and train to become a Restorative Consultant, I feel in love with providing a high level of care to patients in general practice, and being there over time. This led me to do a Masters in Clinical Dentistry at King's College London, which I completed in 2023 with Distinction. The aim of this qualification was to give me the skills and competence to provide hospital level complex care in a primary care setting. Working in primary care gives we the opportunity to utilise all the other skills and experiences I have picked up along the way, so although I have extended skills in Prosthodontics, I have skilled up in all areas of dentistry to make sure I can do as much as possible for you in general practice.
​
Other Interests
It doesn't take long to find out I love food, music and friends. In my spare time you will find me doing any mix of these things, or spending time with my Church family. On a good week, you may even catch me performing on my piano.
