Page 35 - 45th Anniversary Alumni Success Stories

I can’t believe it, but I’m considering going back to school
in the very near future to become a dentist! My employer
is very supportive, believes in me, and is encouraging me
to pursue my dream. It’s hard to believe all of this when
I recall where I started.

After my daughter was born, I knew it was time to seek
a serious career path. My research brought me to PMI to
inquire about their Dental Assistant program. I knew this
would be tough. Trying to go back to school with a little
one at home made it seem impossible. However, I soon
found PMI instructors were dedicated to my success, and
they supported me in ways I could not have imagined.
I loved the small class sizes, and I learned a lot from
my peers. I was so nervous when it was time to start
my externship, my schooling suddenly looked like real
life! But, after only two weeks, the dentist who was my
externship supervisor pulled me aside and offered me a job!

After graduation, I accepted his offer and started work
immediately. A year and a half later I was promoted to
team leader and now, going on three years, I absolutely
love my work.

I am so appreciative of my PMI education. It has made
a true difference in my life, and I will be forever grateful.
