Professional Summary
The early movement in my career was due to the limited experience and exposures to dental specialties. We were encouraged to seek out opportunities to layer and increase our skill sets. So as I learned a specialty I added to my skill set and continued.
One of my growth accomplishments were at Aspen as I was able to take a facility from the RED to the BLACK financially within 2 months as acting office manager.
