I am a small town girl who had a dream at a young age and has never looked back. I’m a proud product of a tiny dot on the map, but to me it means so much more. It means having a very large and close knit family who bands together to help any way they can. The support is what has helped keep me grounded. I am the first person to attend a postgraduate program. It’s exciting to be the first dentist in the family. It’s even better because I have many nieces and nephews who are watching me do it. I hope to inspire them and let them know they can do anything if they put their mind to it.
- While in undergrad, I worked as a certified pharmacy technician at a local Walmart. Although I didn’t know it at the time, the foundational knowledge I was learning about various medications set me up nicely for pharmacology classes in dental school and still to this day.
- I also was a part time dental assistant in undergrad. This experience taught me many valuable lessons such as how an office is ran from the front desk to patient management to how to order supplies and so much more.
- In dental school, I obtained a job where I worked in our after hours urgent care clinic. I did this three times a week in my 3rd year. I learned how to triage patients, diagnose teeth, write referrals, extract teeth, treat dry sockets, manage swellings (local and systemic), and create symptom management plans. This experience was nothing short of amazing! It has allowed me to gain more confidence in patient communication and clinical skills such as extractions.
