Experienced Registered Dental Hygienist transitioning into non-clinical roles using communication, organization, and healthcare expertise.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated and experienced Registered Dental Hygienist with over 20 years of clinical practice, known for delivering outstanding patient care and creating a welcoming, educational, and efficient dental experience. In my current role as a Dental Hygienist / Team Lead, I provide comprehensive hygiene services, coordinate diagnostic needs, and maintain high clinical standards.
I also bring leadership and operational experience—overseeing daily hygiene team concerns and acting as a liaison between hygienists and the dentist to coordinate patient care smoothly. Beyond clinical work, I’m comfortable adapting to new environments through independent temping, and I’ve expanded my skill set through notary and business operations, including legal accuracy and customer-focused service.
