I graduated in Dunedin in 1999 and have been practicing as a Dental Hygienist for the past 20 years with a few years off in between to have our two children. My favorite parts of the job are helping people learn how to improve their oral health and I really enjoy getting to meet a wide variety of people during my working day. Hearing people say their mouth feels great after having a hygiene appointment gives me great satisfaction that I have not only helped improved their immediate oral health but also encouraged them that they can have a healthy mouth for life.
