Recent Graduate Renayah wrote, My teacher ( Jennifer Ramsey) has supported me tremendously in completing the course, passing my DANB exam, and also even providing me scrubs when she didn’t have to! She also has helped me in being direct in what I want with the career path. She’s given me, along with my classmates, much knowledge about dental assisting and definitely plenty of skills to take along with me on my new journey. Although it was considered a “speed class” she offered us the opportunity to extend the class if we felt we weren’t ready. Which was amazing because most teachers wouldn’t care especially with such short time.
