Philosophy Statement: The dental field brings a smile to my face, and I want others to feel and experience that same joy. While in Dental Hygiene School, I want to learn new skills that I will be able to use for the rest of my career. I value the knowledge I am learning while in school and I am excited to help improve my community and it's oral health. Throughout my career, I have worked overseas with several different military clinics, 29 doctors, and specialty dentist. Those experiences have taught me to be open to different cultures, how to communicate better, and be professional in all environments. Once I have become a Registered Dental Hygienist, I will continue to volunteer, help, and educate my community on the importance of oral health and how it affects the entire body.
