Tammy Michelsen

I am a dedicated professional with over 20 years of experience as a dental assistant, where I have developed strong skills in patient care, teamwork, and clinical support. Throughout my career, I have been committed to maintaining high standards of service while helping patients feel comfortable and confident in their care. Recently, I furthered my education by completing a Bachelor's degree in Professional Studies, an achievement that reflects my commitment to personal growth and lifelong learning.

I am now looking to build on both my extensive and academic background as I pursue new opportunities and challenges.
