Samantha Andrade

I am a recent graduate and dental hygienist with under a year of experience in the dental field. I am passionate about providing exceptional patient care, promoting oral health education, and continuously learning to enhance my skills and knowledge in dentistry.

Throughout my professional journey, I honed valuable skills in customer service and communication while working as a server during higher education. To gain hands-on experience in the dental field, I worked as a dental assistant at Western Dental, where I developed a solid foundation in patient care and clinical procedures. Currently, I am proud to serve as a dental hygienist for Dr.

Kitto, where I focus on delivering personalized oral health care and education to patients while continuing to grow in my career.

I proudly graduated from SJVC Visalia in November 2024, completing my dental hygiene program with dedication and hard work. This milestone marked the culmination of my academic journey, where I gained comprehensive knowledge and hands-on training in dental hygiene practices, patient care, and oral health education. My time at SJVC prepared me to excel in the dental field and fueled my passion for helping patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
