About

Thank you for stopping by my Linkedin! My name is Tu and I have 16 years of experience in the dental field. While attending college full time with 3 part time jobs, one which I started as a dental assistant, I found my love for serving others. That passion lead me to pursue a career as a dental hygienist. The most valuable asset I bring to a team is developing strong personal relationships with patients. I strive each day to encourage others to live life to the fullest, happiest, and healthiest they can be. I am loyal, honest, hard working, adaptable, fast-learner, empathetic, organized, and easy-going.
