Currently working as the Director of operations at a dental practice group based in Chicago, IL after graduating from University of Texas, Arlington. I'm a foreign-trained dentist from India, equipped with 3 years of work experience in general dentistry, who made a significant career decision to pursue a Master's degree in Healthcare Administration. This professional transition reflects a strategic shift from clinical practice to a broader role in healthcare management and administration demonstrating a forward-thinking approach to contribute to the healthcare industry in a broader capacity beyond clinical practice. The decision may stem from a recognition of the evolving landscape of healthcare, where effective leadership and management skills are increasingly crucial. I'm a curious, determined, insightful and engaged leader with extensive experience in the dental industry. Strong professional skilled in Operations Management, Talent Development, Sales, Community Building, Event Planning, Training, Retail, Regional Management and Multi-Unit. I have a passion for people development and creating great customer and employee experiences that result in long-term positive business results.
