My role in the safety-net health system has evolved from being a patient, to a dental assistant, to a new dentist, and now a Dental Director. NNOHA has been a guiding light for my values and vision as a dentist in public health. As a new Dental Director, I would be lost without the resources and friendships provided by NNOHA. I’m so excited to represent my state and region as a NNOHA Ambassador. I hope to share my insights with NNOHA leadership too but also work with other dental professionals in my area to promote oral health equity for all!
