Lets see where do I begin. My name is Wilhelmenia Rivera. This all began three years ago. I was laid off from my corporate job and I had nowhere to turn. I know I needed to find a career that was in demand and one that I could see myself doing for the next 20 to 25 years. So I had to make a decision between Nursing and Dental Hygiene, of course Dental Hygiene won. Here I am three years later and I am totally in love with the decision I made. Although the road has been rough it has also been well worth it.
