Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene

Amy Gabriel grew up in Tacoma, Washington. Following high school Amy began working for Reliable Credit, a financial company that specialized in helping people meet their financial needs by providing direct loans and dealer sales financing. When the economy began having trouble Amy was laid off from her job. Needing to seek education to retrain for a new career, she decided that Dental Hygiene would be a good fit. Gabriel attended four quarters at Peirce College to take her prerequisite courses. Looking at the different dental hygiene programs available in Washington State, Amy settled on YVCC. She especially liked the updated facilities and the hands-on training opportunities. She graduated in June 2013 with an associate of applied science degree in dental hygiene.
