Ashley Foley
Oral Health Therapist
“I aim to help patients achieve a healthy oral environment through education, prevention and patient centric treatment.”
Graduating from AUT in 2013 with a Bachelor’s degree in Oral Health Science, I’ve been a practicing Oral Health Therapist in Christchurch since then.
Originally from the States, I love living in Canterbury with all of the nature it has to offer.
After work I enjoy walks with my dog Chuppy, and going on adventures with my husband and young daughter.
Hi I’m Michele, an American trained hygienist. I graduated from Middlesex College in 2002 with a degree in Dental Hygiene.
During my career I’ve worked in many different settings including private practice, public health, and hospitals.
Educating patients and providing comprehensive treatment based on their individual dental care needs is what I enjoy most.
I love Christchurch and I’m grateful to be working with such talented and caring colleagues who provide quality care here at Team Dental.
Outside of dental hygiene I’m passionate about my family, animals, baking, and human rights.
