Mit meinem Abschluss zur ZFA 2003 begann der Einstieg in meinen absoluten Traumjob, seit dem führe ich eine durchgängige Praxistätigkeit, unter anderem in Schwerpunktpraxen auf Parodontologie, Implantologie und CMD. Ich sammelte sehr viel Praxiserfahrung und besuchte Zahnärztetage und Fortbildungen. 2015 absolvierte ich meine Aufstiegsfortbildung zur ZMP an der Uniklinik Leipzig und verfolgte mit großem Ehrgeiz im Anschluss 2019 meine Dentalhygienikerin Ausbildung an der Universität Witten Herdecke mit anschließender Bachelorarbeit. Seit 2016 arbeite ich nach dem evidenzbasierten 8 Schritte GBT Protokoll und wachse stetig mit neuen Herausforderungen.

Mir ist es vor allem wichtig meine Patienten minimal invasiv und maximal präventiv über eine lange solide Behandlung zu betreuen und dies gelingt mir jeden Tag aufs Neue - mit der GBT nahezu perfekt. Seit 2020 begleite ich an der LZKS viele Mitarbeiterkurse als Referentin und bin im Prüfungsausschuss für die Durchführung der ZMP aktiv.

2022 absolvierte ich meinen Betriebswirt der Zahnmedizin und begann meine Tätigkeit als GBT Trainerin in der SDA mit ganzem Herzen.

Mi sono laureata in Igiene dentale nel 2008 a Trieste. Da quel momento la passione per il lavoro mi ha portato a frequentare costantemente corsi di aggiornamento specifici, in particolare dedicati alle nuove tecnologie di cui sono appassionata. Nel 2021 ho partecipato al Corso di Perfezionamento in Leadership in medicina presso l’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Roma. Lavoro in diversi studi odontoiatrici di Trieste con passione ed estrema cura per i pazienti.

Credo fortemente nella GBT come il miglior approccio nella terapia parodontale non chirurgica.
