I have been with Nova Dental Care since 2019 as the Head Dental Assistant. I came from another dental office with over 20 years of experience. I chose this career because I loved to see, in person, how my work changed the lives of the people I was working with. Helping to give them back their smiles, I could not imagine working anywhere else or doing anything else. My favorite part of the job is implants, it truly is the best way to give a person their smile back. I went to school in Bolivia, at Edmoplodent, where I completed my degree as a Dental Technician, and I received a specialty study in dentures, crowns and implant in New York. My goal while working at Nova Dental Care is to help every person recover their smile. It brings me indescribable joy when a patient walks out with the biggest smile they have ever had.
One Fun Fact: I have a real, true, honest passion for what I do and where I work; I feel like many people do not have this luxury.
