My name is Anna, and I am a Plastics-themed Core Surgical Trainee based in Edinburgh. I am delighted to be joining the CLEFT trainee team and feel privileged to contribute to such a meaningful and impactful community.

During this time, I am eager to build on my previous cleft-related experience, including a paediatric plastics elective during medical school and several research projects that I have completed and presented internationally.

These opportunities have introduced me to the strong sense of collaboration and support within the cleft community, and I am very much looking forward to deepening my involvement through this role.
