A Little Bit About Me!

My Background
Unlike several healthcare professionals, I did not always have a desire to enter into the workforce with a dental related career. I picked a path that was I was unfamiliar with, but interested in.
My journey began in 2024 when I was accepted into the dental hygiene program at MSSU. After I began learning, I discovered that my heart was drawn towards this career in much more ways than I thought. As I began seeing patients as a student in clinic, I quickly developed the sweetest relationships with the patients that I worked with. Providing knowledge and care for them in relation to their oral health status and teaching them about improvements they can make to stay healthy provided me a high level of satisfaction in the job I was doing. All while I was learning the basics of patient care, instrumentation, and calculus removal.
What's Next?
After graduation, I plan to move to Lehi, Utah to start my profession. I hope to begin my experience there and develop connections with my patients and the office that I choose. My biggest goal is to create a supportive and compassionate environment for the dental team and patients I work with. I hope that I can help relieve some of the anxiety surrounding dental care!
My expected graduation date is May 9th, 2026, and I am very eager to begin my professional career as a registered dental hygienist!
