I have been involved with Veterinary Dentistry since the inception of the Australian Veterinary Dental Society in 1990. Along with three others I was one of the initial group to be admitted to Membership of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists, in 1993, by examination in Veterinary Dentistry. I have attended and lectured at each Australian Veterinary Association and American Veterinary Dental forum since 1994. In 2001 and 2007 I was an invited lecturer at the WSAVA programs in Vancouver, Canada and Sao Paulo, Brazil. I wish to become a Fellow of the Australian College. I would like to establish a Vet Dentistry training centre for vets and vet nurses. I am the current President of the Australian Veterinary Dental Society and a board member of the American Veterinary Dental Society. I am an Adjunct Associate Professor courtesy of my teaching role (both lecturing and in running wetlabs) for the vet students at Charles Sturt University.
