Tonette – Registered Dental Assistant

Hi! My name is Tonette, and I am a Registered Dental Assistant working for Dr. Draper. I have been working for him since he opened this office and also worked for his predecessor at this same office.
I was born and raised in the Philippines, and came to the United States as an adult. Initially I enrolled in college here and took computer science classes and courses in computer graphics. I then worked for a couple of years as a graphic artist, but decided to go back to college and study to be a Dental Assistant.
I really enjoy this kind of work, as I get to deal with all type of nice folks and help them with their dental issues. With graphic arts, I basically worked by myself and if often took months before I would finally see my work in print. As a Dental Assistant in Dr. Draper’s office, however, I get to see smiling faces every day, and these are faces that I have helped put a smile on. It is a good feeling to know that you are helping folks every day you are at work.
