Hanna Lee

Kitchener,ON

Summary

Hello, my name is Hanna Lee. I came to Canada in 2016, and prior to that, I worked as a licensed dental hygienist in South Korea for over 10 years. In 2016, I also gained about six months of experience working at a dental clinic in Toronto. However, without formal Canadian certification, I decided to pursue the Dental Assisting program to officially obtain my qualifications—and I am proud to say that I am now a certified dental assistant.

I have extensive experience in restorative procedures such as composite restorations, root canal treatments, crown preparations, implant surgeries, and orthodontics. I am also proficient in taking various types of radiographs, including periapical (PA), bitewing, panoramic, and cephalometric images.

If given the opportunity to join your team, I am confident that I can contribute immediately by applying my previous clinical experience and skills. I truly enjoy working in the dental field and strongly believe it is the perfect profession for me. I am also a people-oriented person with excellent interpersonal skills—I enjoy meeting and talking with patients, and I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively and compassionately.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute as a valuable member of your dental team.
