Susan's Story
I graduated from Valley High in 1976 and went to Utah State for 2 years then was accepted to the Dental Hygiene program at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in 1978-1980.
My last year at Utah State was 1978. I had a sorority sister that was transferring to another school for Physical Therapy, and I was transferring to another school for Dental Hygiene, so we both decided to take a trip to the last Frontier...Alaska. We drove the Alaska highway, and worked for the summer in the Fish cannery industry. Alaska was so fantastic, that we both reside here now.
In 1980, I moved to Anchorage, Alaska to work as a registered Dental Hygienist. I worked all over the state for different dentistsfor 4 years, then ...Expand for more
moved to Wil, Switzerland for a year to work for a Swiss Dentist. In 1985, I returned to Alaska, and moved to Homer, Alaska. I worked for 4 years for another dentist, and decided to go to Dental school.
I was accepted to Loma Linda University in California in 1993, and graduated in 1997. I have been practicing Dentistry ever since. I have had practices in Yakutat, Homer, and Barrow. But now I practice 3 weeks in Homer and have a satellite practice in Barrow, Alaska that I travel to one week a month.
I travel to Las Vegas 4 times a year to take continuing education classes and see my family, who still reside in Las Vegas.
I still enjoy waterskiing on Lake Mead and snow skiing, and have a place in Vegas.
