I have served the dental profession for over 35 years as a patient care coordinator and clinical assistant, fully certified by the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) and registered by the State of Michigan for expanded clinical duties (C.D.A., R.D.A.). I am an adjunct instructor at University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, at the Department of Restorative Dentistry, where I teach third- and fourth-year dental students in a clinical setting.
