“I have worked as a dental nurse since 2017, gaining experience across a range of roles within both dentistry and other industries. Over time, my career path led me to a dental nurse position with PDSE at the Devonport facility, where I was fortunate to be offered the opportunity to apply for sponsorship to study dental therapy.
Securing a place at the University of Plymouth to study Dental Therapy has been a journey of persistence and determination. After unsuccessful applications in 2019 and 2020, I was delighted to finally begin the dental therapy course in September 2025.
I hope my experience encourages others in similar positions to remain committed to their goals and believe in their ambitions. With the support available at PDSE, particularly through the sponsorship initiative, there are opportunities for dental nurses to progress their careers, and I’m proud to represent what’s possible with dedication and support.”
