Alex Chauvelin

I'm an outgoing dental nurse with 9 experience in the dental sector, working both in mixed practices & fully private. I am friendly, enthusiastic and I'm able to learn new tasks quickly and able to adapt to certain scenarios efficiently and effectively. I am keen to grow key customer relationships and feel as though I'm very approachable.

I would represent the practice with a friendly, professional demeanour at all times and always have the best intentions of the practice and colleagues at heart. I'm eager to expand on my skills and knowledge to progress in the dental sector.
