I have had the privilege and growing pleasure of being a private practice Dental Hygienist for past 10 years. I'd describe myself as impassioned, diligent and meticulous when providing dental hygiene care but easy-going and compassionate in my approach. Always looking to grow in my profession, and would love to work in a positive environment with a team that values quality dental care, growth and their patients.
