Beyond the dental chair, on most weekends I unwind by playing video games with my partner and spending time with my two beloved puppies, Hanzo the husky and Butcho the German shepherd.

I graduated in 2021 and began my career working at a rural dental clinic before gaining valuable experience overseas, where I volunteered to provide dental care to underprivileged communities. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, with a particular focus on gentle cleans, periodontal care, whitening, Invisalign, restorative work, and supporting patients with dental anxiety. I’ve also worked extensively with children and patients with special needs, which has shaped my calm and compassionate approach.

Outside of dentistry, I’m passionate about photography, active in community engagement through my church, and love spending time in nature – especially hiking along the coast and exploring beachside trails.

I have been working as a dental assistant since 2021 and love helping patients feel comfortable during their visits. At Dental at Joondalup, I assist with a variety of procedures and help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. I enjoy meeting new people and making their experience as easy and stress free as possible. After all, I’m here to help you brush off any worries because who needs stress when you’ve got a smile to protect?

Hi, My name is Kaza.

With two years of experience as a dental assistant, I am passionate about helping people regain their confidence in their smiles.

In my role, I work closely with our team to ensure patients feel comfortable and supported while receiving the best care possible.

Outside of work, I enjoy doing creative and crafty projects with friends over the weekends or trying new sweet and savoury recipes. I also love exploring new cafes and restaurants, always on the lookout for the next best dining spot. Traveling is another one of my passions, and I’m always excited to explore new places and cultures.
