    Objective
    As a dedicated dental hygienist, I am eager to apply my valuable skills and knowledge in a
    dynamic team environment. I am committed to contributing to the oral health and well-being of
    all patients through the delivery of high-quality dental care. With strong organizational skills, a
    quick learning aptitude, and a hard work ethic, I am confident in my ability to be a valuable asset
    to your team. Despite a busy schedule involving school, sports, and employment, I have
    developed my time management abilities effectively. My experience with patients at school and
    other volunteer opportunities further reinforce my suitability for this role, and I am excited about
    the opportunity to contribute to your practice.
