Accomplishments
In 2021, I was nominated for the Canadian Dental Hygiene Associations's "Dental Hygiene Superhero" competition by my office manager, Laurie Nuhn. In the nomination letter, she identified reasons including my professionalism, my "sincere care for the well being of my patients", and the "respect of all the doctors when addressing areas of concern for her patients". This was a wonderful surprise that year, and I have always held high regard for my employers and fellow colleagues as well.
