Summary

I am currently in Dental Hygiene school at Concorde Career College. I live in Sikeston, MO and drive to and from Memphis, TN for class every day. I am very dedicated to this career and I am very passionate about dental hygiene. I started out as a dental assistant but I have worked as a hygiene assistant since I have started in the dental field. I specifically have a passion for public health due to my circumstances growing up, I would love to be able to educate and help those who are in that position.
