Nicole Nedelec has over 25 years of experience in the healthcare industry – a passion that started when she was a teenager. Over her long career, she has worked at nursing homes, hospitals and dental clinics. “I love being around people and I have always found myself drawn to jobs where I get to care for people.” In 2015, after her education and years of work experience in the United Kingdom, Nicole ventured from the cold of Northern England to the heat of the UAE. She worked at prominent dental practices before joining the team at Snö.

Nicole started as a healthcare assistant in 1991. She qualified as a dental nurse, hygienist and therapist in the early 2000s. “Educating people about dentistry is very important to me. It is not about giving them a prognosis or diagnosis, but explaining to them what it all means. Patients often know the how and not the why. Understanding the importance of good dental practices ensures that they follow all the right steps to achieving good dental health.”

While she is used to providing the highest quality dental care using the latest technologies, she has also experienced dentistry in a much more basic form in 2010, when she volunteered to provide dental care and education to people in Uganda. She mastered the logistics of setting up, dismantling and transporting a mobile clinic from one village to the other on a daily basis, and also performing extractions and educational workshops. Nicole describes the experience as “rewarding as much as it was challenging”. Her level of flexibility, patience and adaptability makes her a valuable asset to the Snö team. 

When she gets any time off, Nicole is on a plane heading to a country that she and her husband have not been to. She has been to at least 30 different countries and wants to go to many more. She is also an avid photographer, with one of her pictures getting published in the National Geographic Traveller magazine. 

Nicole is fluent in English.

Sherry Poole has over 20 years of experience as a dental hygienist. Throughout her career, she has been helping patients maintain good oral hygiene by not only thoroughly and effectively cleaning their teeth, but also educating them on correct oral hygiene practises. “I believe that education is key to good oral hygiene, which is why I take particular care in showing patients how to floss and properly brush their teeth, and how plaque affects their teeth and gums.”

Sherry started her career as a dental hygienist in Austin, Texas, after graduating from Lamar University in Texas. She also has extensive experience with clinical skills in soft tissue management and patient education.

Sherry has called the UAE her home for the past three years and has also worked in Oman and Singapore. Her gentle and thorough approach to dental hygiene has made her one of the best in her field, and she is proud to bring her expertise to the Snö team. Her high standards, professional and educational growth and depth of knowledge on patient care makes her a valuable addition to the Snö team.

Every Friday, Sherry hops into her Jeep Wrangler and heads out to the desert for a bit of dune bashing and desert driving.
