Cerra - Certified Dental Assistant

I graduated from the Certified Dental Assisting program at Vancouver Community College in 2002. I started in the program with zero dental knowledge or experience and graduated with a new found passion for working with and helping people. I quickly jumped into a fulltime position in a prestigious office in Richmond, doing a lot of temp work on my days off. I have always enjoyed building a rapport and relationships with the patients, and had an especially great time working with kids. I have since taken some time off to start a family of my own, enjoying every step of the way. Now I'm excited to get back to work in a new office with this great team! See you soon!
