With over 15 years of experience in dentistry, I’ve had the privilege of supporting patients and dental teams through all aspects of care—from behind the scenes in the surgery to being the friendly face that welcomes you at reception. As a fully qualified dental nurse, I’ve worked across a range of treatments and clinical settings, gaining a deep understanding of patient care, infection control, and chairside support. My experience helps ensure that every patient feels safe, informed, and well looked after. In my role as receptionist, I focus on making every visit run smoothly—from appointment scheduling and patient queries to creating a calm and welcoming environment. I understand how important it is for patients to feel relaxed and confident, and I’m always happy to help however I can. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and going on holiday. After many years in this profession, I still genuinely love what I do and take pride in being part of a caring, professional team.
