Summary

Experienced dental professional that has always been eager, passionate, dedicated, and always ready to grow in this field. I have 11 years experience working mainly alongside Dr. James Sitz DDS the entirety of my dental career. I started working at Grelot Dental Group at the age of 19 they hired me when my internship was up from Fortis College in 2014. This practice was a two doctor practice. I worked hard and worked my way to lead assistant started ordering, managing cases, learned iv sedation, Traveled to New Orleans a few years into my career for a weekend emergency medicine course, I flew to Atlanta from Mobile for a weekend training on Cerec (I have not used Cerec in a few years now due to Dr. Sitz buying his own practice and we take impressions), I then followed Dr. Sitz to Grand Bay Dental Spa when he purchased the practice in June 2023 being promoted to his Clinical Coordinator over seeing two doctors, two hygienist, and three assistants. I have obtained my CCMA in November 2023 to be able to go around the office do all venipunctures for PRF for all surgery cases. I am ready to stretch my wings and see what else is out there and what else i can accomplish and help the next practice accomplish!
