Why you became a dental hygienist: I
always enjoyed going to the dentist growing up! Teeth are a subject I
never tire of, I absolutely love what I do.
Your favorite memory of being a hygienist:
I love the personal relationships I build with people, also I love the
satisfaction of teaching someone something new. My favorite memory is
when I was in school for dental hygiene, there was a man who had been a
patient of that clinic for many years. He told me I was his absolute
favorite student hygienist he had ever had and that I would become a
wonderful dental hygienist!
What benefits you see as being a member of
ADHA: I like being able to
support my profession in a tangible, real way. I love what I do and I
want my actions to support that sentiment.
