What guidance would you give to your younger self on the day you left St Paul’s?

As you grow, act with integrity and honesty, always put your family first and strive to be the very best person you can be. St Paul’s will have given you the very best start, no one can then ask more of you.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

Whilst there is no single piece of advice, I respect the wisdom of others. I have had four wonderful mentors throughout my career. However old, however experienced, you can always listen and learn.

Why did you choose your current career?

I always enjoyed making things with Lego and Airfix when young and became interested in dentistry whilst having orthodontics as a teenager.
