Kirsten Lacy
@kirstenlacy
I am a dental assistant and Army veteran delivering precise clinical support.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced dental assistant with hands-on experience across restorative, implant, and orthodontic workflows. I have led training efforts, managed equipment and sterilization protocols, and tracked cases using tools such as Open Dental, iTero, Dentrix, Eaglesoft and Denticon while maintaining CPR and OSHA compliance.
Before and during my dental career I served as a Military Police Officer with a Secret clearance, developing strong time-management, NCIC, investigation, and training skills. I am completing a Bachelor in Health Science (ETA August 2025) and seek roles where I can apply clinical expertise, leadership, and a commitment to patient safety.
