Summary
Approximately 30 years of progressive dental hygiene healthcare. My skills are honed and were not limited to family practice, school based programs for children, or correctional dentistry. All of my clinical settings has given me a wide range of experience with people, details of their positions in life along with their needs, and finding a way to serve, treat, and impress upon them the value of my knowledge for their benefit. Managing information, tracking progress and impact, and serving a lot of years with the advanced stages of disease being my focus. Recording in detail and maintaining good rapport with not only patients and departmental management, but also the agency providing funds for the program or budgeting board.
