About
Currently, I am taking classes at St. Louis Community College for my prerequisites to go to UMKC dental hygiene program. I have been a dental assistant for 5 years. I started when I was 19 as a Dental Hygiene Assistant and shortly after I was trained as a front desk receptionist and then as a Dental Assistant. I am trying to better my career and be as successful as possible while doing this. I enjoy seeing people better their oral care and helping them along the way makes my job even better. When I was younger I knew I wanted to go into the medical field and after volunteering for the hospital I knew dental was where I wanted to be.
