Dedicated Registered Dental Assistant with expertise in clinical support.
What I'm looking for
I am a Registered Dental Assistant with extensive experience in providing clinical support across various dental procedures. My journey began at Delta Technical College, where I earned my diploma in Dental Assisting. Since then, I have honed my skills in four-handed dentistry, chairside assisting, and patient education, ensuring that every patient receives the highest standard of care.
In my current role at a general dentistry practice in Germantown, TN, I deliver comprehensive support during both general and specialty procedures. I excel in maintaining a sterile environment, performing radiographs, and assisting with restorative dentistry. My previous experience at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center allowed me to support dental students and residents, further enhancing my clinical competencies and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments.
Beyond my technical skills, I bring strong interpersonal and leadership abilities developed during my time managing operations at Newk's Eatery. I am passionate about fostering a positive patient experience and am committed to continuous learning and professional development in the dental field.
