Dana is a public health hygienist, educator, tutor, entrepreneur, and more. In this episode, she reflects on her journey to becoming a dental hygienist and shares what she would have done differently. She emphasizes the importance of not rushing the process and recommends gaining work experience in the dental field prior to dental hygiene school. She also encourages finding volunteering opportunities that align with your personal interests and values, rather than just focusing on what looks good on an application. Seeking out resources and support, such as tutors and teachers, is another great way to improve your application experience! Make sure to drop any questions for Dana via email or DM!
