Meet the Team

Kath

Orthodontic Therapist

I have worked in the industry for 19 years after graduating with an associate Diploma in Dental Therapy from Curtin University.

Aspects of orthodontics that I really enjoy is seeing a patient at their first appointment. They won't smile because they are self conscious, but the day they have their braces off, they just can't stop smiling. It's gorgeous to see and very rewarding.

I enjoy working at Peel Ortho because of the wonderful staff. Everyone is lovely and supportive.

In my free time, I spend time with family and friends, playing with my two gorgeous dogs Milly and Winston as well as catching up with my lovely son Jacob who's 20. I also dolphin and bird watch and bike ride to the estuary.

Some of my hobbies include knitting, gardening, country drives and travelling - when able to.

Tracey

Treatment Coordinator Team Leader

I have worked in the dental industry for 10 years after qualifying with a Certificate IV as a Dental Assistant. Before this I was in Office Management and hold a Certificate IV in Supervisory Management. I joined the team at Peel Orthodontics in 2012. The team spirit and girls are great fun, and it is a good environment to work in. I enjoy meeting the new patients, putting them at ease and starting them on their way to the smile they have always wanted.

Working with Dr Ash and seeing the positive results our patients achieve through their orthodontic treatment encouraged me to have braces myself to improve my smile. This has given me a greater understanding and appreciation of the process and the experience a patient goes through to reap the lifelong benefits of orthodontic treatment.

In my free time, I read do gardening and take long country walks.

Sophie

Treatment Coordinator / Clinic Care Coordinator

I am new to the Orthodontic industry, starting my journey here at Peel Orthodontics as a patient. I attained my cert IV in Dental Assisting in July 2021. I really enjoy the variety there is to Orthodontics and I am excited to be a part of where the magic happens and seeing the fantastic smile transformations and share in the patient journey.

I spend my free time with my family and friends, going to the beach and nature walks. Some of my hobbies include roller-skating, baking and trying new arts & crafts activities.

Hanneke

Clinical Care, Stock Control & Lab Work Coordinator

I have worked in the Industry for five years and achieved a Certificate III and IV in Dental Nursing in 2019. I was very proud to receive the Practical Excellence Award in this course in 2019.

I enjoy working at Peel Ortho as it's a family friendly environment and I enjoy meeting new people. I love seeing patient smile transformations and how their confidence grows.

In my free time I go to music concerts with my husband, as well as going to the beach and exercising. I enjoy reading, listening to music and arts and crafts.

Becki

Patient Care & Digital Treatment Planning Coordinator

I have worked in orthodontics for 4 years, I really enjoy working in Ortho because being involved in patients journeys from start to finish is such a rewarding experience. Orthodontics can help improve the confidence in people and being a part of their new found happiness is a wonderful job to have.

Peel Orthodontics has the most amazing team of people, everyone is so lovely and friendly which makes coming to work everyday a pleasure. Gone are the days of dreading Mondays! There’s such a fun upbeat atmosphere here and our patients feel it too.

In my spare time, I enjoy baking, reading and spending time with my partner, Dan, and 2 kids. They are heavily involved in Dance and Karate so I’m often running to and from training sessions most days. I am also very passionate about photography and videography and always seem to have a camera to hand!

Maria

Clinical Care Coordinator

I have been in the dental industry for over 3 years after completing certificates 3 & 4 in Dental Nursing in 2021. In those 3 years, I have been working in the specialist field of Orthodontics, starting with Peel Orthodontics 8 weeks into my course in 2020.

I have previously completed my Master’s training in fitness, equivalent to certificates 3 & 4, through the Australian Institute of Fitness.

The aspect of Orthodontics that I enjoy the most is being a part of the patient’s journey from the beginning to the end of their treatment. Seeing the changes and transformation they go through to a beautiful smile.

It is a rewarding and satisfying feeling when you see the patient and family members’ emotions of happiness when braces or appliances are removed and they see their new smiles.

I enjoy working at Peel Orthodontics as they are a very welcoming, caring, and supportive bunch of individuals. They are always very caring for their patients and are always on top of the quality of treatment they give.

When I am not working, I am a busy wife and mum of 3 beautiful children. They all keep me on my toes. I spend my free time with my energetic family and fur baby. I love to catch up for breakfast, lunch, or dinner with family and friends. I love participating in various indoor and outdoor fitness activities to stay fit and active. I also enjoy baking and spending time in my veggie garden.

Krystal

Front Desk Team Leader

I am brand new to the world of Orthodontics, so I have no specific qualifications in this area, but I have over 4 years of administration experience and am soon to complete my Certificate IV in Health Administration.

One of my greatest work achievements was when I collaborated with colleagues in a previous role and helped create and implement a call flow training course. Being a part of something impactful really makes the role fulfilling.

What I am starting to love about Orthodontics is how we are able to manipulate teeth to create the perfect smile for our patients. The team at Peel Ortho are so kind and welcoming to staff and patients. Everybody is so passionate about teeth!

In my spare time, I love camping and exploring our beautiful state. In my down time, I enjoy baking, playing video games, digital art creation, and four-wheel driving!
