• UPDATE: Looking for a great opportunity
• Returned to Lubbock in August 2023
• I absolutely love people, upbeat, social, spiritual, smiling and grateful! I have been working in the dental/orthodontic profession offering superior front office and new patient customer care since 1992.
I am extremely gifted in the act of hospitality and communication with all types of people. I am interested in exploring my excellent people skills in a new and rewarding industry. I have enjoyed every moment in my field of expertise. I'm looking to learn something new and still operate in my gifting. I'm fantastic at multi-tasking and learn quickly! Authorized to work in the US for any employer
