Summary

I am a second-year student studying Oral Health at the University of Otago. I am looking for part time work as a dental assistant in an effort to gain extra experience in my field of study, and to earn some extra money to support my studies. I am a committed, reliable, and hard working person, and I love working closely with others in a team setting. Most of my work experience is in hospitality however am eager to find a new job in the dental field as I am passionate about this profession. I am a friendly and energetic person who adapts to new environments with ease and I think I would thoroughly enjoy a position as a Dental Assistant.
