My primary interest in the area of community service and education, as evidenced by my past employment and volunteer work, is to better improve the community. Enclosed is my resume for your review. I would be honored to receive your consideration. Before attending dental school, I worked for 5 years as a dental assistant. I attended and received my dental assistant certificate and x-ray license while in high school by taking courses at the Regional Occupational Program. I learned basic techniques that allowed me to work for several offices which helped me decide that dentistry was the path for me. I started from the most basic position in a dental office and have worked through practically all positions until I began attending USC School of Dentistry. My love of dentistry from the age of seventeen has remained the same. I love my line of work because it allows me to serve my community and bring education and health to the cities I have worked in. From my experience in dental school, I worked on sharpening my communication skills by learning how to efficiently and effectively research dental topics, analyze potential strategies, and learn clinical techniques as well as how to communicate and educate the community. My practice is patient centered; we strive to optimize patients' oral health through education and ethical moral dental practices and techniques. During my dental career I have been able to serve my community with several different organizations which allowed me to appreciate how my position could impact the community. As a result of my dental training and experiences, I possess solid clinical, writing, and educational skills which will allow me to effectively perform the work of a member on the board. I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope to have the opportunity to meet with you. Sincerely, Maryam Nazeri Enclosure 13B-4 N ~_ m x W W O ^~^ ~ I~ H W ~4 w O ~ V] N ~ Q O .~ ~ Q ~ ~ U cd w ~ ~ ~ ~ U ~ ~ x h W ti O O V W a~ U N C7 ~ W o ~ w ~' U ~. ~ z O ~, 3 O ~. ~ ~ ~ ^r$' ~ o y '~ E- Z U ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ O Ol W ~ o ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ . ~ ,'~ U ~ ~ ~ O ~ , ~ ~ ~ b!) ~ . o ~, ~, ~ ~ ; ~ u..
