Summary

When graduating Highschool I was choosing between what career path I wanted to take Dental Assistance or becoming an Registered Nurse. I went into Dental Assisting right out of Highschool and graduated from Austin Dental Assisting School. While furthering my career in the dental field, my passion kept bringing me back to becoming a Registered Nurse. I am currently a student at ACC in becoming a RN. My goal is to become a Pediatric Oncology RN.
