Summary

As a licensed dentist with the RCDSO and NDEB, and a member of the Halton-Peel Dental Association, I bring a comprehensive set of modern dentistry skills, honed through international education and training. I am highly competent and confident in performing a wide range of dental procedures and am dedicated to continuous skill advancement. My experience includes working within the CDA II Scope of Practice as recognized by the Ontario Dental Assistants Association, along with extended orthodontic duties certified by the University of Toronto.


I have a proven ability to work effectively with patients from diverse age groups, cultures, and backgrounds, always communicating in a respectful and culturally sensitive manner. My commitment to excellence, innovation, and community service drives my professional approach, with a particular interest in youth initiatives, global health, and personal health and fitness. I am also passionate about digital and microscopic dentistry, hospital dentistry, and improving oral health in vulnerable populations. Currently, I am available for temping as a DDS in two dental offices and am open to relocation opportunities.
