About Jill
Jill began her career in dentistry in 2004, completing a dental assisting traineeship at Adelaide Dental Hospital. During this time, she gained valuable experience across a range of dental settings, including periodontal, paediatric and holistic clinics. She assisted with procedures under general anaesthetic, as well as dental implants, grafts, orthodontics and laser treatments. Inspired by the work she witnessed every day, Jill went on to pursue further studies, graduating as a dental hygienist in 2013.
Since then, Jill has worked across general and specialist dental practices in Adelaide, Melbourne and the Gold Coast, bringing a breadth of experience to her role. Now calling the Sunshine Coast home, she is committed to maintaining her knowledge and skills through regular symposiums and conferences. Jill is also a member of the Oral Health Association of Australia, reflecting her ongoing connection to the wider dental profession.
Outside the practice, Jill enjoys keeping active, with boxing among her favourite ways to do so. She also has a love for LEGO, gardening and travelling whenever the opportunity arises.
