Katrina Sanders (AKA @TheDentalWinegenist), our in-house sommelier, our beloved & intelligent teacher, and insightful co-host of Tooth or Dare is finally in the hot seat! In the second installment of our new series, Irene&Trene, Irene asks Katrina to give us the way back playback. Katrina walks us through her early fascination with dental hygiene, her experience as a self-described dweeb in hygiene school, and her first experiences working in a dental practice. Katrina also talks in detail about her process of becoming a professional speaker and educator in the field and offers her advice to the young aspiring hygienists and dentists out there.
Irene&Trene is a new series where your two favorite hygienists speak off the cuff from their combined decades of experience to tell the truth about the dental industry. We will still continue our normal interview series, so stay tuned for more great interviews with dental professionals who are changing the game!
