Career Goals and Aspirations
My career goals revolve around becoming a dentist. My vision involves attending dental school, building my experience professionally, and providing quality patient-centered dental care. I am uniquely qualified for this journey due to my experience as a dental assistant, which provided me with skills in chair side-assisting, office management, and patient care. After this class, my short-term goal is to work as a dental assistant to gain experience while studying for the DAT. My long-term goal is to complete my dental education, provide services to those in underserved areas, and open my own dental practice.
