I’ve worked with Dr Pistolese for many many years in various positions throughout his clinics and now as Practice Manager. I’m a mother of two teenagers and live with my husband in a lovely little country village south of Sydney, where we have chickens and a vegetable garden. I am a bit of an entertainer and love to have dinner parties and try different foods I’ve never tried before. I love taking the kids camping up the coast on weekends. One of my favourite times in the week is sitting down with a home made coffee or a glass of wine (depending on the time of day!) and reading the weekend newspaper. ![team_member.jpg](https://www.innerwestorthodontics.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/staff-image-katrina.jpg?width=262&height=210&name=staff-image-katrina.jpg) ### Katrina Reception Hey, I’m Katrina and I work with Helen on Reception. I have a passion for travelling, meeting people, dancing and music. Oh! Did I mention pets? I love both cats and dogs! Being a receptionist here at Inner West Orthodontics, allows me to meet wonderful people from all walks of life. Sometimes I even get the chance to speak in Greek, which I am fluent in. My dream was to visit the city of Venice, Italy and I achieved that a few years ago. Next stop Paris, again or maybe even New York! I am the proud mother of 2 beautiful daughters. ![team_member.jpg](https://www.innerwestorthodontics.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Website_Pages/About_Us/Isabella.png?width=262&height=210&name=Isabella.png) ### Isabella Dental Assistant Hi, I’m Isabella. I am the newest and youngest addition to the team. Working as a dental assistant is great fun especially at Inner West Orthodontics. Seeing the transformations of the patients is a very exciting and fulfilling experience. I am a bit of a chatter box and I love to get to know our patients. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sydney. I am always intrigued as to how things work and always eager to learn. I’ve definitely caught the travel bug so I am always keen to hear about the tips and tricks when it comes to travelling. In my spare time I love to run, especially along the beach. It’s a great way for me to clear my mind. ![australian-society-of-orthodontics-logo.png](https://www.innerwestorthodontics.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/australian-society-of-orthodontics-logo.png?width=187&name=australian-society-of-orthodontics-logo.png "australian-society-of-orthodontics-logo.png") ![american-association-of-orthodontists-logo.png](https://www.innerwestorthodontics.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/american-association-of-orthodontists-logo.png?width=187&name=american-association-of-orthodontists-logo.png "american-association-of-orthodontists-logo.png") ![invisalign-logo.png](https://www.innerwestorthodontics.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/invisalign-logo.png?width=213&name=invisalign-logo.png "invisalign-logo.png") ## Say hello Fill out the form below with your querey.
