Summary

Dedicated and energetic dental assistant with nearly 6 years of experience providing compassionate and high-quality care. I take pride in helping patients feel at ease and confident about their smiles, and I’m committed to creating a positive experience at every visit. Skilled in chairside assisting for a wide range of procedures including crowns, fillings, and with some exposure to extractions and implant treatments. I’m dependable with sterilization protocols, staying organized, and adapt easily. I also have front office experience and always bring a friendly, team-oriented attitude to the workplace. I’m a true people person who loves building connections and stepping in to help wherever I’m needed. Currently attending college and working toward a future career in dental hygiene, I’m excited to keep learning and growing in the dental field.
