We are so excited for our graduate, Diana! She completed the program and her externship.
She feels the program gave her confidence in the workforce. She grew the most in hands-on techniques and learning dental terms. She has already secured employment at Mortensen Dental. When she isn't in scrubs, she likes boating and hanging out with her kids and girlfriend. The advice she would give to incoming or current students is to take it seriously.

Her favorite thing about the program was getting through the program quickly and building friendships. The advice she would give other students is, "You may feel burnt out, but it will be worth it in the end."
In her free time, she likes to play pickleball and hang out with her family. A fun fact about her is that she is the youngest of 7, and she is a first-generation college graduate.

Yaretzi is our newest graduate. We are so excited for her to begin her career as a dental assistant!
During her time in our program, she feels she grew the most in coronal polishes, fabricating temporary crowns, and patient skills. When asked where she is headed next and how the program helped her, she said, "My next step is to pursue a position as a dental assistant in a clinical setting. This program has provided me with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to be successful." She said she enjoyed the hands-on experience and the support from instructors. The advice she would give other students is to make the most of every learning opportunity, remain consistent, and trust your journey. What great advice!
Congratulations Yaretzi!

Way to go, Avlynn! Not only has Avlynn finished the dental assisting program, but she did it all in high school! Her favorite part was getting to know a wide variety of people in class.

'Tis the season for graduates!
Meet Jordan. He has completed the dental assisting program and did it all while still in high school! He had this to say about the program: " The instructors all dedicate so much to the students; they make the program truly an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. It was productive and worth every minute. Leaving is bittersweet. I have many cherished memories from dental assisting." He feels he has grown most in learning to be independent and push himself.
When he's not busy with dentistry, he likes to lift at the gym and play pickleball.
He has big plans for the future. He is headed to USU, then dental school. The credits he will be able to use from completing this program will greatly help. But first, he's going to serve a mission in Argentina for his church!
