What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused dental role where I can apply chairside skills, radiography and sterilization expertise, assist with insurance/administrative tasks, and contribute as a reliable team player in a collaborative practice.

I am a certified dental assistant with hands-on experience chairside supporting dentists, preparing procedure trays, taking X-rays, and ensuring instrument sterilization. I bring professionalism, a team-player attitude, and a strong commitment to patient care.

At Bear Creek Family Dental I worked directly with the doctor to set up trays, clean operatories, and maintain sterilization protocols. At Signature Dental I expanded responsibilities to include insurance verification and claims adjustments, patient consultations and payments, coronal polishing, sealants, and radiography.

I hold a high school diploma and certifications from Milan Institute in X-ray, coronal polish, pits & fissure sealants, plus current CPR certification. I am adaptable and willing to support wherever needed to help the practice run smoothly.
