Dental Assistant
Jo started her career in the dental field as a Dental Assistant at Westmead Dental Hospital, covering a range of dental procedures. Jo decided to further her studies moving overseas to complete an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene in 1997. While working in both the general and paediatric dental communities Jo completed a Bachelors Degree in Dental Hygiene from the Fones School of Dental Hygiene in Connecticut, USA in 2001.
After the Trade Towers fell in New York, Jo returned to Sydney with her family where she worked as a Practice Manager for a busy dental surgery in Martin Place in the Sydney CBD.
After travelling from the Central Coast to the CBD for over 18 years, Jo wanted to work locally and get back to a more patient centric career. Jo joined The Gunyah in 2021 to work with Tony Appleton as his dental assistant. She’s enjoyed getting back into direct patient care and is happy to be a part of a caring and motivated dental team.
