Kenzie is a Dental Assistant in Charlotte North Carolina who shares who went through a 12 week dental assistant program.

During her time in college, she was very intentional on taking a variety of classes and exploring different routes and options to understand and see what would be a good fit for her professionally.

Her career started after completing a fulfilling mission with her church as a nurse licensure specialist for a company that helped nurses get their license here in the United States. This showed her that she was able to make a difference in someone's life & she wanted to make sure her career was meaningful and impactful for the clients and customers she worked with.

This lead her to the dental industry as a dental assistant. In this episode, Kenzie shares the difference between a dental assistant and a dental hygienist because I was not sure!

For her, the dental industry is a perfect combination of a desk job and the medical space.

She loves that being a dental assistant allows a space for her to be a mom and raise a family with the job hours and days that is typical for this industry.  This career is very family friendly and conducive for having kids.  It can be 8 hour days, or 10 hour days, and 12 hour days.

A typical career path for a dental assistant could be to pursue becoming a hygienist, a dentist, or even a medical device sales rep in the dental industry which is very common.

I had to make sure I asked the question on everyone's mind: "IS IT GROSS TO WORK WITH RANDOM PEOPLE'S MOUTHS?!"
