Sandra Mercado
Ventura,CA
Summary
I am a graduate from the accredited Dental Hygiene program at Oxnard college but have mostly worked in the Santa Barbara. This being so, I am familiar with the area and the population. I am fully bilingual and proficient in Spanish. I love the clinician-to-patient bond that comes as a part of this career and really enjoy explaining the process of disease to patients to be able to educate them and help cease it within our community.
Lastly, I possess great abilities to work collaboratively with others and understand the importance of being a team player.
