Summary

An organised and energetic person with strong interpersonal, communication and time management skills. I am very self motivated and goal driven and am constantly learning. I am experienced in planning training programmes geared to the individual needs and goals of my clients. I am very proactive in maintaining high standards of customer service and often anticipate the needs of clients and the business. I maintain a high level of communication, both verbal and written.


I have always been very interested in the dental industry and dental practices, and I think it is an extremely exciting time to be part of the industry with all the new and innovative treatments and products that are constantly emerging, not to mention the scientific knowledge that is always being built on.
