Emilie Stam
Summary
I’ve been a DA since the fall of 2022. I chose this profession because my biggest role model ( My Mom ) has been a DA since she was 19 years old which is the same age I started at. Getting to listen to her explain how she would quite literally change people’s lives via their oral health, and smiles….was so intriguing to me, I had to find out for myself! I have been in LOVE with teeth for about 4 years now, and I cannot see myself finding a career in anything other than Dental. Getting to help people get over their fear of taking care of their teeth, or working with kids to help the next generation ELIMINATE the stigma around Dental Offices, is something that fuels me, and is so fulfilling to me.
