Jesenia Garcia
Lake City,FL
Summary
My name is Jesenia Garcia, but I also get called Jessi. I'm twenty-eight years old with experience in dentistry for four and a half years. Two and a half of those years I worked as an assistant in General Dentistry in which they did all things from buildup and crowns, implants, surgical extractions, dentures, root canals and more. The rest of my experience comes from two years of seeing patients full time while in dental hygiene school. I currently just graduated hygiene school early May and passed all my boards. I'am now seeking for potential job opportunities in which I can carry out my skills. My strong work ethic allows me to adapt well in fast-paced environments. Patient education is my passion and my goal is to help every person with their oral care.
