Summary
I am an enthusiastic, kindhearted, hard working employee. Overall I am a team player. Being at Dodgeville Dental I have taken on many different roles. I started off as sterilization, moved to front desk, and I have recently been trained to do assisting. Throughout my different rotations I have learned so much about the dental office. I have a solid understanding about the software Dodgeville Dental uses. I know how to check patients in and get them scheduled. I make sure that instruments have been sterilized, rooms are clean, and are set up for the next patient. Lastly, assisting has allowed me to help my Dr.'s have a smooth-sailing procedure and keep the patient at ease during the appointment. Overall, I have become a more well rounded employee. Therefore, I am able to connect and relate to many different staff member's because I have been in their position before. I am always so excited to go to work, and I truly wan to continue to help patient's grow healthier and happier smiles, in whatever role that is.
