Summary
I take pride in the assistant that I am. I strive to make everyone’s job as easy as possible. I have been working in dental for 9 years. I am very loyal and tend to stay at my employment for many years. I am a happy go lucky kind of person. I have worked with babies to seniors and love working with people with special needs. I mainly have worked in pediatrics and ortho because I just feel those are my callings.
