Summary

I am currently working as an Oral Health Therapist at Watagan Dental and Central Coast Orthodontics. Prior to this position I spent 9 months employed with the Central Coast Local Health District as a New Graduate Oral Health Therapist. After being in dental for almost 9 years I have grown a strong passion for the industry and love connecting with people and educating them and supporting them on their Oral Health journey. I am a great people person and have the skills to come across professional yet personable. I have great punctuality and a very determined work ethic. I possess confidence in my work and love working in new environments and learning new skills. Overall, I am a positive, professional, and confident individual who strives to be their best and consistently brings out the best in others.
