"I told my mom when I was 14 that I wanted to be a dental assistant. One week after greaduating high school, I was attending the dental assisting program at South Puget Sound Community College. I graduated the program in 2009 and have been working in the field ever since. I couldn't love my job more. I am currently a student at SPSCC working toward my associate of arts degree. I plan on attending Tacoma Community College for the Medical Sonography program next.
When I'm not working or at school, I enjoy relaxing with friends. Some of us get together and take our dogs down to the ponds in Elma. I also enjoy playing poker, darts, pool, as well as going shopping and out to the movies."
