Affiliations

I love to spend time outdoors, walking, biking, boating, spending time with friends and family. After college I spent years working for an insurance company then spent many years raising my children and then decided to go into fields where I can help people. I want to get into the dental field as an assistant and then get my RDA and eventually my RDaef2.
