O BJECTIVE
To secure a new position in the dental laboratory industry utilizing my previous in-depth knowledge with
today`s extensive experiences. I am a committed, dependable, and seasoned dental technician, while also
possessing outstanding interpersonal and leadership skills.
SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
I am the 3rd generation of a family of dental laboratory technicians/owners; I started at the plaster bench
working after school when I was 15. For the next 30 years I learned, and mastered all phases of quality,
full and partial denture construction as well as specializing in C&B and Ceramics. After purchasing the
dental laboratory from my father and Uncle I increased sales by over 50% in just the first year and
continued to grow the business until I sold the laboratory to pursue other interests. I am now looking to
reconnect into the dental laboratory profession as a technician with a new, but respected, and quality
organization.
