Ayana Figueroa

I am a dedicated pre-dental student at Johnson & Wales University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Health Science. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience in the healthcare field, where I have developed a strong foundation in patient care and customer service. I am passionate about dentistry and committed to making a positive impact in the lives of my patients.

During my time as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I provided essential support to patients in their home care plans, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My responsibilities included administering medications, recording vital signs, and communicating effectively with nursing staff. Additionally, my role as a hostess/server at Tavern In The Square honed my customer service skills, where I managed customer flow and ensured a pleasant dining experience for all guests.

Currently, I am gaining valuable insights into the dental field through my internship at Sturbridge Children Dentistry, where I shadow dental procedures and assist in preparing exam rooms. I am eager to continue my education and apply my skills in a dental practice, contributing to the health and happiness of my future patients.
