Summary
My dental assisting in the past was during the off-season at Rocky Point Resort. I didn't need credentials at that time in the state of Alaska.
As of now, I am still in the process of receiving my certificate and am looking for an internship before graduating on February 12, 2025.
I am a dedicated and motivated student with a proactive attitude and the ability to learn quickly. Strong work ethic and effective communication skills. Eager to contribute to a dynamic team and support organizational goals.
