Summary

In 2013 I went to school at Dental Career Center Of Stephenville, where I became an RDA. I was always intrigued with the dental field, after my externship I fell in love with this as a career.

I am currently employed at Smile Crafters , we welcome a variety of age groups, impaired and limited patients. Over the years I have participated in many procedures, such as root canals, crowns, temporary crowns, fillings , and dentures. I have learned to adapt to any situation and am able to read the room and doctor that is in front of me.
