Bridget found a big spark of inspiration from them and furthered her commitment to the dental field by graduating from dental assisting school in 2009. In her spare time, Bridget loves watching movies and going on road trips with her wonderful daughter. When you meet Bridget, you’ll find that she is extraordinarily friendly and has a one-of-a-kind personality that helps her connect with everyone around her.
