Summary
I am a Dental Assistant with 12 years of experience. I worked for 8 years for a large, very successful group practice in a fast paced and demanding work environment, and then for 3.5 years for a private practice. I am highly skilled in chairside assisting and all that it entails. I am a hard working and loyal employee that goes above and beyond to ensure the success of the practice, as well as the comfort of patients, while having fun and maintaining professionalism. I have an extensive knowledge of dentistry but am always striving to learn more. I take great pride in my work and I love what I do.
