Professional Summary:

I have been in the Dental Field for 20 years. I feel like I will be a great asset to any field of work that I am in due to my work ethics and experience. I have clinical skills as well as administrative skills. When I start things I like to see them all the way through especially when dealing with my patients. The first things people notice is my bright smile, the second is how professional I am with them from the moment they walk in the door all the way up until they leave. I would bring calmness to any job as well as my talents. I would be honored to become a part of a Great Team.
