Why did you decide on the dental field:
When I was a kid, I LOVED the dentist and had always hoped to work in the dental field one day. As I got older, that dream changed and I went to school to become a Preschool teacher and worked at a preschool for several years. I was reminded of my dream to work in the dental field and decided to go to school for it!! As I was finishing up my courses, I went to Dr. Soung’s office to complete some externship hours and was hired the same day! Since then, I have been so in love with Oral Surgery and can’t imagine doing anything else.

I eventually decided to explore the dental field, specifically oral surgery, and I’ve been loving it since July 2022!
