Summary
Dedicated and mission-driven United States Marine Corps veteran transitioning to civilian life with a strong passion for pursuing a career in dentistry. I served four years as an Automotive Technician with additional billets including Martial Arts Instructor, Tool Room Manager, and Platoon Sergeant—roles that emphasized precision, discipline, and leadership in high-stakes environments. Excited to begin this new chapter as a Registered Dental Assistant, viewing it as an ideal foundation for a future in oral healthcare. Committed to continuous learning, meticulous standards of hygiene and safety, and providing meaningful contributions to patient care and clinical support. Currently hold an RDA license and BLS/CPR certification. I am also a full-time student at UT Tyler pursuing a BS in Biology. Main goal is to complete all the Prerequisites and study for the DAT to get into Dental school. I have a long way to go and am very excited to start this career!
