Look Ma, No cavities! My sister and I were part of Crest's No Cavity Club, I knew way back then I wanted to be a Dental Assistant.  My education took me to sunny Panama City, Florida, where I earned my Associate of Science from Gulf Coast Community College.  My very first job was working in Endodontics.  I have also worked in General Dentistry, but my passion is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.  I returned to school to earn a Bachelors in Healthcare Administration from Concordia University of Wisconsin.  For the past 5 years I had been sharing my passion for dental assisting; teaching at Missouri College.
