Keira Barry

I am a hardworking, compassionate, and reliable individual with experience in healthcare, administration, and customer service roles. Having worked in a GP practice, care home, home care, and retail environments, I have developed excellent communication, organisational, and interpersonal skills. I am confident working with people from a variety of backgrounds and pride myself on providing a professional and caring service.

I have a strong interest in dentistry and am keen to begin a dental apprenticeship where I can gain hands-on experience, expand my knowledge, and develop a long-term career within the dental profession. I am eager to learn, take on new challenges, and contribute positively as part of a dedicated dental team while delivering high standards of patient care.
