Additional Information

I am writing this to express my dedication enthusiasm to furthering my education in Clinical Dental Technology at the University of Otago.

My bachelor diploma of dental technology at the University of Otago was awarded in December 2021. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have maintained a solid academic platform of dental area.
In 2022,I stayed in China a whole year since there was some accident happened on my family while I had an voluntary experience in a Chinese dental laboratory, Swallow Dental Lab, from September to December, that includes teeth setup,Heat and Cold curing processing,repairing denture and polishing. Since 2023 to now,I turned to a professional dental technician at Oamaru denture clinic. Presently, I had already made myself master of doing sorts of lab works including: Custom tray,Bite block,relining,rebase and more.

My interest in Clinical Dental Technology just stems from while I am working in Oamaru denture Clinic as a dental technician. During my first year of my profession,It was fortunate to work with our Clinical technician team, the way how they treated our patients catalyzed my admiration for their profession. It helps me to know myself more about that I am eager to absorb new knowledge and I actually be able to handle the pressure under the intense working progress. Durinng our workflow,I just realised people must be capable to keep learning more major related academic knowledge throughout the career,and gain more working experience to better serve for customers. It is a unique way to help our patients more in obscurity to be a dental technician,which makes me proud. Honestly, I am more willing to enjoy my labwork moment while gaining the clinical skills and experience can help me to understand my job better and preferably communicate with our clinical team. All in all, I will be hardworking and patient to do my clinical dental technology programme if I was admitted,also I would like to serve my patients in any way either as a technician or clinician due to my personality of conscience and consideration.
