Tell us a little bit about your career history

I followed my childhood dream and qualified as a Paediatric staff nurse at Teesside University in 1998. Following 10 years of working within the Paediatric setting of Neurology and Bone Marrow transplants, I decided to have a change in career and found myself in the world of medical devices working with the Critical care and Theatre teams.

In 2009 I was given an opportunity to work within the dental sector and that is where my career with Nobel Biocare and dental implants started. Throughout the huge learning journey of Dentistry, I have been awarded ‘Territory Manager of the Year’ 3 times and was also awarded an ‘Outstanding Achievement award’ in 2013.

While a large proportion of my role with Nobel Biocare was to support and develop clinicians with their implant side of the business, I have also enjoyed the continuation of education and have been involved in setting up and running courses for both dentists and dental nurses. I have also pioneered and set the standard for running quarterly regional study clubs across the UK and Ireland.

I am now delighted to be part of the Queensway Dental team and look forward to being a point of contact for our referring GDP’s and working in different areas across the business in both Billingham and Jesmond.

What makes you smile?

Loads makes me smile but what has to make me smile the most is my boys. They not only make me smile but make me laugh out loud every single day.
