Kate Tiriaere
Chief Caffeine Officer
Born and bred in Southland, Kate joined Tooth Works in 2011 and became the proud owner in 2019. She’s deeply passionate about improving access to dental care in the region and creating a warm, community-focused environment. When she’s not at work, Kate loves going out for coffee, reading and spending time with her husband and two children.
Fun fact: While in Korea, Kate once ate live octopus tentacles… they suctioned to the roof of her mouth and she definitely wouldn’t recommend it.
