What I'm looking for

I am seeking a hands-on clinical dental role where I can use radiography and expanded-function skills, work with a collaborative team, prioritize patient comfort, and continue professional development in clinical dentistry.

I am a licensed dental radiographer and expanded functions dental assistant with seven years of hands-on experience across general, surgical and orthodontic practices. I hold certifications in HIPAA, CPR/First Aid, DANB radiology review and OSHA infection control training.

I excel at chairside assisting, 4-handed dentistry, radiographic imaging (2-D, panoramic, CBCT), and clinical procedures from impressions and provisional restorations to simple surgical extractions and PRF/PRP blood draws. I am experienced in sterilization, infection control, OSHA and PHI/HIPAA compliance.

My mission is to provide calm, informed patient care and to support clinical teams with efficient operatory setup, accurate imaging, and consistent adherence to safety standards. I thrive in collaborative environments that value patient comfort and clinical excellence.
