Rochelle studied Dental Nursing at Leeds Dental Institute and has worked with dentists, consultants, and professors in oral and maxillofacial surgery worldwide. Rochelle has developed a deep passion for the dental industry especially in the surgical and implant field.

“In the 25 years, I’ve seen such a massive change in the Dental Industry which I feel quite privileged to have come from an era of seeing Dentistry progress through technology. When that fails, I know how to go back to the basics and do things old school. My found passion is to pass on my knowledge and skills to others in the industry creating a wholesome team approach".
