Summary
I’m a very passionate and hardworking person, I always set my goal to give my all when it comes to do what I love. I’ve had the opportunity to work as a dental assistant for a year and I would love to add many more years. I learned a lot about dentistry during that year and I’m open to learn a lot more, I’m a visual learner and I always tend to learn everything that I see, I love to ask question that allows me to expand my knowledge; as persons we never stop learning and that's just a wonderful thing about humanity. I look forward to the opportunity of getting back to work and enjoy it to the fullest.
