Our Team

I started in the dental industry 11 years ago as a dental assistant and have spent the last few years working through the various roles in a dental practice.

In my spare time I love to travel and keep fit by attending a Box-Fit class a few times a week.  I have a great passion for animals and their welfare and have a sweet SPCA classic kitty at home called Nala.  I’m not afraid of a new challenge and love trying my hand at DIY at home when I can.

My vast experience and caring personality enables me to provide you with a genuine and knowledgeable personal service.

Dr Krystal Tarak, Dr Shirley Wan and I worked together previously in another dental clinic and it has been a pleasure to join them again in caring for their patients and also Grace’s.

The qualifications I have gained include:

• Dental Corporation Practice Managers Leadership Program
• Current First Aid Resuscitation Level 4
• NZDA Certificate in Dental Assisting

I was born and raised in Tauranga but have called Auckland home for the past 8 years.

I started off in the fashion industry before moving into the dental field. In my spare time I enjoy getting out and about with my energetic dog Kobe,as well as spending time with family and friends.

I work closely with all of our clinicians to ensure you are made as comfortable as possible throughout your dental appointment and ensure you leave our clinic smiling.

Qualifications I have gained:

– Certificate in Dental Assisting from the New Zealand Dental Association

– First Aid certificate Level 4 resuscitation

I joined the team at All Smiles in May 2016. I really enjoy helping and caring for people in my dental assisting position. I find the dental industry very interesting and I always look forward to learning new aspects. Family is important to me so I spend a lot of my spare time visiting friends and family. I have a passion for playing hockey the outdoors, and try to discover new bush walks at every chance I get. I enjoy caring for Krystal’s and Shirley’s patients and look forward to seeing you soon.

I am new to the dental industry, having come from a background in travel, as well as having run my own retail business for many years, however, I believe the underlying principle of all successful businesses is excellent service, and that is irrespective of which industry is being discussed.

My role at All Smiles will be to greet you when you arrive and make sure you are comfortable before and after your visit with the to see us. All Smiles is incredibly proud of it’s exceptional reputation for customer service, and I am pleased to be able to join the team as they continue to exceed their guest’s expectations.

I am blessed to have 3 beautiful grandchildren, and love to spend every moment with them that I can. I also enjoy handcraft, knitting, sewing and more recently, have taken up spinning wool, which I find very rewarding.

I grew up in Wellington and studied a bachelor of Biomedical Science gaining honours at Victoria University before moving to Auckland.

I am currently studying medicine at The University of Auckland, hoping to specialise in surgery. I have a great passion for science, learning and teaching others.
I have been in the dental industry for more than 2 years at a dental practice in Wellington before I made the move to Auckland.

I love playing sport in my free time and I play football and cricket competitively.
I look forward to meeting you while assisting Dr Krystal Tarak and Dr Shirley Wan.
