Jose is back again to host his second episode with guest Maria Paula Rodriguez, his dental hygiene classmate from NYU! Maria Paula works as a clinical hygienist in both general and pediatric dentistry; she loves that dental hygiene allows her schedule to be versatile and can switch up where she's working throughout the week! Originally from Venezuela, she explains what it was like for her to start college here, and how her journey led her to dental hygiene. Jose and Maria Paula also discuss differences between bachelors and associates in dental hygiene, different working environments for dental hygienists, and tips for new grads applying for jobs!
