Resume Reflection
The anatomy of the human body has always been intriguing to me, especially when I was little. I
discovered an interest in the dental field about a year ago when I had to wear braces. As I watched dental
hygienists socialize with patients, learn specifics about teeth and teeth cleaning, and perform certain tasks all
while helping patients achieve a great smile, I became interested in the profession. When I was young, my
interests varied from photography, writing, marine biology, and becoming a veterinarian. However, just recently
my curiosity about the human body was discovered. As I combined my love for being social with others and my
interest in human body functions, I found a dental hygienist to be a great career option.
Both of my parents attended Chico State University in Chico, California, and my brother got accepted
into Chico this year as well. I found Chico to be a great option for college because my parents told me there is a
Dental Hygienist Program on campus. However, as I was researching the program for the assignment, I was
In spite of my drawbacks, I continued to search for dental programs within schools in California, and
found one at University of Southern California, Cerritos College, and one at the Santa Rosa Junior College. I have
always wanted to go to college and possibly live in Southern California, so that location was my main focus for
this assignment.
I contacted the professors and/or the directors of those programs and asked multiple questions about not
only studying the major in college, but also the process of becoming a dental hygienist. I chose to contact Zach

Woolfork, who is the program director for the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of University of Southern
California, as well as Carol Hatrick who is a professor for dental hygiene at the Santa Rosa Junior College.
1. What makes dental hygiene an interesting major? What makes being a dental hygienist a worthwhile
experience?
Anxiously waiting for an email back, I received a response from Carol Hatrick who offered to set an
appointment to meet for an interview. Also, Zach Woolfork offered to answer my questions via email.
Although I am very excited to receive answers to my questions, I have not been able to set a date for an in
person interview with Carol, nor has Zach replied to my questions in an email. When I have received answers to
my questions, I will attach an addendum to this assignment with their answers as well as my thoughts about the
profession; I will include whether or not my my feelings about dental hygiene have changed.
