Education & Surgical Training
I began my academic journey at the University of Toronto, Canada, where I earned a Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc Hons) in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, graduating with High Distinction. I pursued my medical degree at the University of Aberdeen, UK, where I obtained my MBChB, also achieving Phase 1 Distinction.
I completed my general surgical training in North London and Essex under the National Training Programme with Health Education England. My sub-specialisation in breast surgery included advanced training at the esteemed Cambridge University Hospitals and Broomfield Hospital, one of the largest breast cancer and reconstruction units in the UK.
Following this, I was selected for the prestigious TIG National Oncoplastic Breast Fellowship—a competitive program that provided me with extensive training in complex breast reconstruction at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, one of the UK’s leading centers for breast cancer care.
