Jyllian Rodriguez

I am currently a dental hygiene student at Miami Dade College with six years of dental assisting experience. Working in dentistry has strengthened my passion for patient care and confirmed that I want to continue building my career in the dental field. I have experience assisting doctors during procedures, taking dental X-rays, working with patients of all ages, and helping patients feel comfortable throughout their visits.

I am dependable, outgoing, and eager to continue learning while contributing my clinical experience and strong work ethic to a dental team as I work toward becoming a registered dental hygienist.
