Summary

As a dental hygienist with several years of experience, I had numerous opportunities to learn and work as a team and adapt to this fast-paced job environment. Also, I met and treated patients of all ages and was able to develop my problem-solving skills by always trying to fulfill the needs of the patients first. Furthermore, I enhanced my professional communication and time management skills through these experiences which I am confident will carry over to my position as a dental hygienist at Carolinas Dentist.
