Bonus Episode 39: MOMgienists ADHA Student Experience with Bianca and Melissa

MOMgienists podcast

This week Jasmin is on location at the ADHA conference. She had the privilege to interview dental hygiene students Melissa Roman, Bianca Bucio, and Professor Marie Prassas. This meeting was an impromptu interview at the Chicago Midway Airport. The conversation was so good that we needed to record it.

Melissa and Bianca are students of City Colleges of Chicago and competed in the national ADHA table clinic competition. Melissa and Bianca were assigned to Jasmin as their judge. They were mentored by equally dedicated and passionate Professor Marie Prassas. Listen in on the conversation to learn about their experience and why diversity is so important to dental hygiene.
