What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive work environment that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced Orthodontic Technician with a strong background in dental procedures and patient care. Over the past several years, I have honed my skills in various roles, including leading teams and assisting in complex orthodontic treatments. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to manage multiple responsibilities, from patient scheduling to technical tasks like bonding brackets and making retainers.

Throughout my career, I have worked with advanced dental technologies, including Dolphin Imaging and iTero scanners, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of the industry. My experience spans across different dental settings, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to work effectively in high-pressure environments while maintaining a focus on patient comfort and safety. I take pride in my meticulous attention to detail and my dedication to providing the highest quality of care.
