I started as a Trainee Dental Nurse in 1976 and obtained my 1st National Diploma in 1980. I worked at various NHS/private practices in London. I took a position working for the Waltham Forest Health Authority. I was based at a Health Clinic in Walthamstow where we treated school children and visited special needs schools with a mobile dental surgery. After that I took a break from dentistry and worked in a role as a staff receptionist. Then a few years later I worked at a kennels homing retired racing greyhounds; I adopted 3 myself as I couldn’t leave them in kennels!
My journey at Sea Street began in 2012 when I moved to Herne Bay from Essex. I worked for Rob Jolliffe as a Dental Nurse and Receptionist. When he took early retirement, Hiten bought the practice and ‘inherited’ me! The practice has grown and developed under his leadership and we have a great team now that I’m pleased to be a part of. My dental journey will come to an end in 2027 when I finally retire!
