Summary

After serving in the health care industry for over 15 years, I pivoted and focused on raising my children full-time. While this was extremely fulfilling, my children have all "left the nest" and are productive members of society. It is now time to focus on my personal goals. I am truly grateful for the opportunities the dental field and being "Mom" have provided me. Though vastly different in nature I am confident that I have acquired many valuable skills that will translate well into many different areas.
