Tooth Trainee
Senior Ana Chavez has taken a bold interest in becoming a dental hygienist by studying this field through an internship available at Springville High. She interns at Art City Dental training with professionals and helping with dental tools during procedures. In addition, she helps keep the rooms sanitary. She loves this internship because it gives her the opportunity to actually work and learn at the same time.
“I believe that this internship is what I was looking for,” said Chavez.
The awesome dental assistants in the office friended Chavez and helped teach her how to be unique at work. Chavez knows how much this will help her with her future ambitions, now she’s aware of the procedures in a dental office. Chavez plans to attend the University of Utah and further her knowledge to become a dental hygienist.
Chavez definitely suggests taking an internship yourself, “It helped me a lot because I needed hands on work. I will definitely recommend it, students need to know about this because it would help them a lot,” said Chavez.
Follow her example and sign up for an internship. If you’re interested in the internship program, please contact Mrs. Robyn Dunn, Worked-based Learning Coordinator, Springville High, (801) 489-2870 or robyn.dunn@nebo.edu.
