She believes this will be reflected in their lives as adults, and provide them power in challenging situations.
“I LOVE my job. I love helping patients and families achieve their dream smile. The transformation of my patients as they gain confidence and a new outlook on life brings me so much joy. Seeing a person’s inner self change to match the change on the outside is the best reward for a job well done.”
