Kate was born and raised in Brighton and is incredibly proud of her home city. She spent her first 9 years in dentistry as a qualified dental nurse, before going on to achieve a Distinction in a Biomedical Science diploma (DipHE), as well as a Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy bachelor’s (BSc) at The University of Portsmouth. During her studies, Kate also volunteered as a dental professional to provide care for the homeless community, and, more recently, Ukrainian and Palestinian refugees. Kate believes that everyone should have access to high quality and non-judgmental dental care, and strives to make all her patients feel seen, heard, and respected. In her spare time, Kate enjoys crochet, sewing (she sometimes makes her own clothes), embroidery, reading, and exploring woodlands with her little dog, Mabel.
