Whilst in Perth, Andrea continued working in private practice. She was also appointed a Clinical Demonstrator for both the Undergraduate Dental Program and the Postgraduate Orthodontic Program at the University of Western Australia.

In 2009, she relocated to the Mornington Peninsula, working in orthodontics for the last 15 years. Where she has embraced the lifestyle, people and the community. Andrea firmly believes in keeping up with the advances of orthodontics by attending professional meetings and further training, both in Australia and overseas. She also believes the current philosophies in orthodontic treatment planning incorporate not only the dentition, but also changes to facial form and outline in the adolescent and adult. Andrea is passionate about orthodontics and finds it rewarding creating beautiful and confident smiles with both braces and Invisalign.

Andrea lives in Mornington with her husband and her son, who currently attends a local high school. Andrea loves baking and building Lego. You will probably find Andrea with her family and her bulldog Elsa in one of the many cafes around Mornington and beyond the Peninsula.
