Summary

I believe I would make an excellent dentist at your practice because of my long standing passion for dentistry and my unwavering commitment to patient care. As I complete my fifth and final year of Dentistry at Griffith University, I am more determined than ever to pursue a career that can truly make a difference in people's lives. I've always aspired to be a dentist, driven by the belief that a smile can transform lives. Throughout my journey, I have honed my skills through hands-on learning, drawing from four years of experience as a dental assistant and extensive clinical practice. I am determined and self-motivated, with strong interpersonal communication skills, a compassionate demeanor, and a continuous desire to learn and improve. I am seeking opportunities in a practice that aligns with my career goals- a clinic offering mentorship, a supportive, team-based learning environment, and opportunities in aesthetic dentistry. I am dedicated to investing in my education and skillset to provide the highest level of care to my patients.
