Summary
ADN nursing student and Certified Dental Assistant with a strong academic background in patient care, anatomy, patient safety and clinical procedures. My time in healthcare and clinical rotations has strengthened my ability to communicate effectively, stay organized under pressure, and collaborate within fast paced medical settings. I bring over eight years of experience as a dental assistant, where I developed a solid foundation in maintaining sterile environments, supporting clinical teams, and providing compassionate care to patients. I am eager to apply these transferable skills as I transition into nursing and contribute meaningfully to patient outcomes and team success.
