Summary
I'm a registered dental hygienist with over 10 years of experience who enjoys connecting with patients and helping them feel comfortable in the dental chair. I focus on patient education, prevention, and building trust so people feel confident caring for their oral health. I'm looking to contribute to a collaborative dental team in a part-time or temporary role while easing back into clinical hygiene.
