Nadia relocated from Adelaide to Melbourne in April this year. She completed a Bachelor of Oral Health from the University of Adelaide in 2019. Her qualification enables her to provide a dual scope of care as a dental therapist and dental hygienist. The three-year full-time degree focused on children’s dentistry and preventative adult care, including gum disease management. Warm, approachable, and enthusiastic, Nadia excels at supporting anxious patients and turning dental visits into positive experiences. Her knowledge of developmental psychology helps make children’s appointments engaging, interactive, and educational—she has a knack for getting even the shyest little ones to open up and smile. Nadia has visited primary schools and childcare centres to promote oral health awareness and encourage good dental habits among young children. Her dedication to helping others also took her to Vietnam for a two-week volunteer program, where she supported the broader community. She hopes to continue making a difference through future volunteering opportunities. When she’s not working, Nadia enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends—and she’s always looking for great coffee spots in Melbourne!
