Summary
I take patient care seriously and strive to see my patients happy. I have worked hard to move from sterilization technician to a dental assistant. I will be starting MCC in January for Hygiene. I am a quick learner and pick up on new tasks quickly. I have roughly a year and a half of dental experience. I am crossed trained. I can work almost any position you put me in and put in the effort to be the best of my ability. I am familiar with Open Dental for patient records along with scheduling and Sirona for x-rays, but I am open to learning new software's. I am good at working with other people and can be a positive leader and/or team member. I am currently working to get my RDA license. I have completed my course which included jurisprudence, infection control, & radiology. I am currently working on my CPR to send it off and receive my certification.
