Sianne – Practice Coordinator
Sianne’s first job was becoming a dental assistant at Essential Care Dental in 2014. She’s been with us ever since! After four years of chairside assisting, she transitioned to working as a receptionist. Sianne quickly earned a reputation as one of the loveliest and helpful people our patients have ever met. She thoroughly enjoys working with people of all ages and helping them to feel comfortable during their visits with us.
In her spare time, Sianne enjoys watching movies with her partner (she has an uncanny ability to quote many of them), baking sweets and walking her little dog Pacquaio. She is a lover of all things dog-related, spending much of her free time volunteering at RSPCA Animal Care Campus. Sianne is also an avid Brisbane Broncos and Queensland Maroons supporter.
