Summary

Sociologist and Social Science Researcher with 5 years of experience in the dental industry, primarily within busy dental laboratories. In addition to managing operations, I have successfully organized, coordinated and delivered educational courses for dental professionals. I also have a strong foundation in social work, having supported vulnerable communities including refugees and abuse victims, hence i have employed an empathetic and people-centred approach to leadership.

Ambitious, proactive, and visionary, I am deeply fascinated by business growth and development, and I thrive on turning ideas into action. I take a person-centred approach to management, fostering collaboration, continuous learning, and environments where people and knowledge can thrive. Passionate about helping others reach their potential, I'm driven to be a positive force in both individual and organizational growth.
