Fitzroy New Plymouth
Summary
As a dedicated Oral Health Therapist currently on extended maternity leave, I am actively seeking a position in New Plymouth, having recently relocated from Christchurch. Since my graduation in 2017, I have honed my dual scope practice at Kaitaia Hospital and within the Northland DHB network, as well as at Bright Smiles Children's Dentistry, a private clinic in Christchurch.
During my time as the sole oral health therapist, working closely with the pediatric dentist and owner, has allowed me to refine a diverse array of techniques and significantly expand my skill set.
My professional journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, particularly in examining and treating young children and adolescents, including those with disabilities. I have a keen interest in easing the dental experience for young and anxious patients, ensuring their comfort and fostering a positive perception of oral health.
My work ethic is characterized by reliability, punctuality, and a drive to achieve high personal standards. As a proactive and positive team player, I excel in communication, ensuring seamless interactions with colleagues, patients, and their families. I firmly believe that effective communication is the cornerstone of successful treatment outcomes.
Confident in engaging with people from all walks of life, I welcome challenges and am committed to professional growth.
Known for my positive, caring and bubbly nature, I am always ready to support my team and patients. My people-centric approach, evidenced through my active participation in various life activities, positions me as an ideal candidate to be an exceptional oral health therapist and a valuable asset to any dental team.
