Summary

I am detail-oriented graduate of Western Kentucky University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology in the Spring of 2022. During my academic career, I also managed to accrue a month of work under a pediatric dentist as a dental assistant, and also shadowed multiple dentists to accrue around 300 shadowing hours. Along with school, shadowing, and work, I have been a member of WKU’s baseball team, where I have proven myself a leader on and off the field. Post-Grad, I am currently working as a full-time dental assistant. My proven analytical, problem-solving, and leadership skills will make valuable assets throughout my dental career.
