What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead the back office as an EFDA/RDA, keep improving processes, and support the doctor and practice to grow—while continuing toward becoming an Office Manager.

I’m an RDA who stepped into lead back-office responsibilities, and I’m now working as an EFDA with PRP and IV sedation certification. I focus on keeping the back office sterile, organized, and running smoothly so the doctor can deliver excellent care.

At Havasu Dentistry, I handle inventory and ordering, take x-rays/impressions/digital scans, support side-chair assisting, and assist across oral surgery, endodontic, and hygiene-focused education. I also train/oversee new hires, and I enter/present treatment and schedule appointments using Dentrix and SoftDent.

I’ve built strong insurance and patient coordination skills as well, including retrieving insurance breakdowns and submitting/scheduling VA patients. At Lakeview Family Dental, I also supported front-office open/close duties, verified insurance, and batch/submitted claims—so I understand how clinical and administrative work connect.

I’m especially proud that I’ve earned expanded responsibilities over time, including my EFDA license and my PRP/IV sedation certifications. I’m currently in the process of being trained to become an office manager, and I’m motivated to keep improving processes, leading my team, and helping the practice grow.
