Priyanka Cherian

As a highly motivated and skilled dentist with a special interest in orthodontics, I believe that my experience and qualifications make me an ideal candidate for any relevant role. 

My journey in the dental industry began with the completion of my dental surgery degree. Following that, I spent two years working in a dental practice before pursuing an MBA in Hospital and Health Management. I then went on to work as a Manager of Quality and Process Excellence at a healthcare start-up. In 2017, I relocated to the UK and worked as a Business Manager at an orthodontic practice before joining Align Technology UK Ltd four years ago. Through my work experiences, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and expertise in my field. 

I am particularly interested in opportunities to work in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where my husband is currently working on a project. I am a British citizen, and I am willing to travel for work. I believe that my diverse experiences and cultural adaptability would make me a valuable addition to your team. 

I am confident that my passion and my commitment to delivering high-quality work would enable me to make a significant contribution to your organization's continued success. I would be grateful for any assistance you may offer in exploring potential opportunities.

 Thank you for your time and consideration.
