My experience spans various roles in dental offices, where I have honed my skills in both clinical and administrative tasks. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about contributing to a family-oriented team that prioritizes patient well-being.

Throughout my career, I have developed a comprehensive skill set that includes vital signs monitoring, dental charting, and patient education. My certifications in CPR and knowledge of HIPAA and OSHA regulations ensure that I maintain the highest standards of safety and care. I am eager to grow within a modern, technology-driven practice that values teamwork and continuous learning.
