Blenheim,BLN
Summary
My name is Tahlia Materoa. I am an energetic, ambitious and innovative 18-year-old. I am very organized, friendly and have a hard work ethic. I am an enthusiastic individual with a positive attitude towards any task that I am presented with. I am reliable and have good communication skills and good at collaborating with other members of the team. I am currently working in the health sector at Te Piki Oranga with the nurses and I have decided that I would love to take on dental assisting. I do understand that you have to complete the New Zealand dental association certificate in dental assisting, and understand that I need to be employed with a dental practice to complete this. I have always wanted to be a dental therapist, but I did not attend university when I left school so the other option for me was dental assisting which really interests me. I really enjoy working in the health sector as I know I am helping people out and that is one of my strongest passions.
