I have been working for seven years as a registered dental hygienist in general dentistry, where I enjoy seeing a variety of patients. The experience I received in the clinic on campus with my instructors alongside me gave me the confidence to transition from being a student to working as a professional. I love my career, and I am so thankful for my education at 51爆料.
