My name is Dory and I work as a dental hygienist in
a thriving community dental practice. I am back in school in an effort to
transition from an RDH to BSDH. I love
my job and the daily interaction with patients, but private practice dentistry
is only one aspect of the career I have envisioned for myself. I hope to
eventually hold a position in a DH program as an educator and researcher. I
also am interested in the prospect of holding a clinical DH position in a
hospital setting.
As far as hobbies go I am pretty simple. I love
music of all genres and decades, and I have become adept at making the perfect
playlist for any situation. I love to read but nothing too serious. I just
purchased my first house, and I am slowly realizing that I am NOT very good at
the whole decorating thing.
In this class, I hope to increase my cultural
competence in order to become a more effective clinician.
