I am a qualified Registered Dental Nurse and have worked with Mike Horrocks since 1991. My role as Programme Manager varies daily. I work both in the clinical hands on rooms and in the background to make sure all students and staff are supported whilst at simplyendo.
I joined the simplyendo team in summer of 2020. My role here is multifaceted and it's great as I get to do lots of things to help out the team and students! I help out in the office with administration and also with our marketing and social media. You will often see me walking around the building with a camera or my phone!
I love animals so I always love spending time with my dog Jasper and sometimes bring him into work, as after all he is a working dog!

Prior to working at simplyendo®, I worked at Dentsply Sirona for 5 years as a sales manager for the preventive, restorative and endodontic division. I supported simplyendo® courses at the education centre in Formby and at various teaching hospitals in the North West. I was delighted when Michael offered me the opportunity to become part of the simplyendo team in January 2021.
My role is technical support, but I also help out with various projects, incoming enquiries, and supporting the tutors as / when needed. I have a degree in Business Management from the Open University and at some point, I would like to do a masters.
Outside of work I'm interested in F1 / cars / boats / aeroplanes / horology / music / cooking / walking.
I have worked with simplyendo® since 2018, and you will usually see me glued to a computer screen in Mike's office.
I make sure the Assessment & Monitoring process runs smoothly, I develop and improve our business processes and related documentation, I manage Fire Safety, and I pick up any other tasks I can squeeze in to reduce Mike's workload so he can spend more time doing the things he enjoys most!
I absolutely love wild camping and grab every opportunity I can to escape to peaceful places and soak up nature's energy in the middle of nowhere, leaving nothing but footprints! I also grab any opportunity to get out dancing, and to make special memories with my family & friends.

I used to hate root canal treatment and when a colleague asked me to accompany him on a course I said an emphatic no. However, he pleaded with me because he did not want to attend on his own. The course was simplyendo's 10 day course but I was so not into root canal treatment I did not bother turning up for the first day. To my surprise, on the fourth day, I found myself enjoying myself and the rest is history. I was a member of the very first cohort to take the Masters degree and I gained a Merit in 2011. I went on to become the Senior Dental Officer responsible for Endodontics at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board in North Wales taking referrals from the Community Dental Service and various hospitals in the area.
