Show Notes
Julie @peachstaterdh is a dental hygienist working in periodontics and uses social media to support other hygienists. She loves her career but admits it wasn’t easy to get where she is now. We talked about being second-time girlies and how she improved her application for hygiene school to get in the second time. Before hygiene, she had a degree and worked in communications and decided to have a career change after feeling burnt out. She “threw all her chips in” to pursue dental hygiene and, even through all the challenges she faced along the way, she couldn’t be happier now!
