Emmie | Dental Assistant

Hi! My name is Myshela, but I also go by Emmie. I was born and raised in Springfield, Illinois. I became a dental assistant in 2019. Being in the dental field is something that I have always talked about growing up. An amazing story behind it is that my sister is a dental assistant as well. She became a dental assistant before me. So it was like an encouragement thing with us because once she graduated a year later I went to school and graduated. I got my first dental assistant job in December of 2019 and then I moved to Texas in April of 2020 . Which I feel like it was one of my best decisions I made in life. I have a beautiful daughter who keeps me on my toes. I work hard and push myself because of her . I plan on continuing my education in the dental field and eventually become a hygienist.
