I was always passionate in wanting to learn more about dentistry. I found Healthcare Career College and I learned so much from Ms. Enriquez. She’s very detailed and thorough which made learning quicker and easier. I currently work at Dr. Virginia Castelo, DDS in Los Angeles as a dental assistant. What I love about the job is the people that I work with. Everyone is very patient and I feel that I learned a lot. My plans for the future is hopefully continue working with dentistry and continue my education to become an RDA.
