It is an honor to be an ambassador for my home state of Colorado. My goals as an ambassador will be to increase awareness to NNOHA to not only our community health dental professionals in the state but to dental/hygiene students who are the future of our profession. I didn’t understand the full scope of the incredible need for oral health access for underserved populations until, in 2019, I attended my first NNOHA conference. My outlook and motivation for my future in public health dentistry took a 180 degree turn. The training, networking, vision, and people who are a part of NNOHA is why my passion to support this organization grows year after year.
