"I wanted to get paid to speak."

"I really love empowering dental hygienists to be their best selves."

"Sometimes a mini moment that you take for yourself as self care is all you can fit in."

"Anyone that has been diagnosed with cancer, you know it throws your world upside down and you are scrambling for information."

"My cancer was lobular so there was never a lump."
