Career History
After completing her dental degree at the Westfälische Wilhelms University in Münster in 2016, she worked in general dentistry as an assistant dentist at Dr. Jochims' practice in Diepholz. There she was able to deepen her practical knowledge and experience before continuing her specialist dental training at Dr. Werner Schupp's practice in Cologne.
During her advanced training in Cologne, Dr. Julia Steinmaier (née Funke) established the in-house aligner therapy program at the practice of Dr. Werner Schupp, an orthodontist .
