I was born in New York City, Queens and I joined the U.S. Navy at 19 years old. During my service I worked as a dental assistant for 4 years before my acceptance into Coastal Carolina Community College's dental hygiene program, upon which I graduated from in May of 2024. As a newly appointed dental hygienist I play a vital role in helping patients maintain good oral health and preventing dental problems. It's a rewarding career that allows me to make a positive impact on people's lives every day.Venturing through my e portfolio you will find my complete body of work including my resume, qualifications and certifications.
