Congratulations Olivia Jackson
As a vocational trained professional of 20 plus years. I’m excited for this opportunity to give back to dentistry, the career field I’ve worked in and learned so much from. My experience includes holding positions in every auxiliary position in the dental office including, assistant, administrative, managerial, community outreach. I accept the responsibility to shape the next great dental minds and promise to prepare my students for their next step whether it be higher education or the workforce. Each day I strive to bring a positive attitude, an open mind, and high expectations to the classroom. I believe that I owe it to my students, my team, as well as the community, to bring fun, consistency, diligence, and creativity to my job in the hope that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in my students as well.
