Read Transcript I think my first role in the practice is to do whatever needs to be done whenever it needs to be done. I've always been a part of the practice from a business standpoint, and in recent years, I've become a lot more involved in the patient care aspect. My background is nursing and nursing education, and that makes me very passionate about, first of all, patient care. Nurses are always very passionate about making their patients feel comfortable wherever they are. We're also passionate about our patients understanding what they can do to take better care of themselves. I bring that to the practice, I bring that knowledge of healthcare to help the patients win. Now we know so much about the way the health of a person’s mouth affects their whole body. We educate each other on that. I can educate our staff on those health diseases of the rest of the body. That's a good mix — that way we work well together.
