What strengths of yours makes you suited for what you do?
I love connecting with people. I have good communication skills with the patients. I love the ability to help someone feel better about themselves and building relationships with patients. I have an extremely strong work ethic. I am picky when it comes to customizing patient care. I am thorough. At the end of the day I can look in the mirror and feel I've done my best. Dental hygiene is an art to me and each patient, a canvas.

What personal accomplishments are you most proud of?
Being a mom, traveling, being able to grow and being able to handle change.

What famous or non-famous person do you admire?
My mom because she sees the good in most everyone, she's taught me practically everything and she is good at reminding me about God's love.
