On this episode, Dana meets with Amanda Zubricki. Amanda is a clinical dental hygienist who operates the non-profit "That Deaf RDH Foundation." She graduated from Northern Virginia Community College in 2017. Her foundation provides scholarships to deaf and hard-of-hearing dental hygiene students. Amanda discusses how she applied to dental hygiene school three times. She actually ended up appealing her third rejection letter to dental hygiene school which helped her finally get accepted! Amanda overcame rejection, feelings of self doubt, and failure to succeed in her goal of earning her RDH license! She is an inspiration to anyone applying to dental hygiene school.
