With the same thesis, he also received the prestigious Elsdon Storey Research Award from the Australian Society of Orthodontists for the most meritorious student research paper in the country.

His training has equipped him with the knowledge and the techniques to manage orthodontic problems for children, teenagers and adults in the most efficient and simplest ways that are suitable for their lifestyles. Jenkin is meticulous, has an eye for detail, and does not stop until he has achieved the best results for all his patients. He is known to be a personable practitioner who is approachable and easy to get along with. Jenkin is always happy to offer any type of dental advice. Just ask!

Jenkin enjoys the simpler things in life and enjoys spending time with family and friends. He loves spending his holidays in paradise island settings (if he can get there). He takes an interest in playing tennis, football (soccer), tabletop miniature war-gaming, scale model-making and improving his golf. However, such hobbies have all been put on indefinite hold since the birth of his baby daughter, Lily.
