I graduated school in 2021, with a great interest in the health of Australians. I wasn't interested in University as I wanted a break from study, so I decided to complete my cert III in dental assisting. Absolutely loved it! I love the high interaction with patients, meeting them and mot importantly creating a connection with them and making them feel at ease in there appointments.
I loved the variety, responsibility & work requirements that a Dental assistant has to meet.
Over my 2 years working at Albury Family dental I developed a strong interest in oral health care, and hope to utilize my cert III in another practice, where I can foreshow the many skills Iearn't Working with high experienced practitioners and experience different practice undertakings to further my knowledge in oral health care.
Outside of work I love to baby sit children, travelling, utilise my home gym, cook for my friends & family, enjoy various water sports including ( paddle boarding and waterboarding) & playing tennis with my high school friends a few nights a week.
