Registered dental hygienist with over 15 years of experience in dentistry. I love dentistry and am excited to help prepare any future dental hygienist for a fulfilling career in dentistry. I have additional background experience in biomedical research, biology, chemistry, anatomy, and physiology. I enjoy teaching students different ways to make what they are learning connect; each little bit adds-on and becomes a bigger picture. I started out as a student teaching aid in anatomy as an undergraduate student. During my graduate years, I was the lab manager responsible for training undergraduate, incoming graduate, and medical students doing rotations in our neurphysiology/neuropharmacology lab.
