About

Get to know Melissa

Hi, my name is Melissa.

I am working here at The Dentists as a Dental Assistant and Receptionist.

Previously I have been in retail and customer service for the past 20 years. I wanted to try something new that still gave me quality family time. I am enjoying getting to know the team and patients and soaking in the knowledge.

In my spare time I support the NRL Warriors and enjoy going to live games. I also spend a lot of time at the beach with my husband, 3 teenagers and dogos.

I look forward to meeting more people and look forward to growing more in this role.
