My name is Mary and this is my first semester in the Masters in Allied Health program at ETSU. 

 

My BS degree is in Business Management.  I worked as a Commercial Lines Underwriter and then a Business Analyst in the Insurance Industry for a number of years.  After getting married and having two boys (now ages 8 and 6), I decided to change careers by going back to school to get my Dental Hygiene degree.

 

I currently work as a Dental Hygienist in Massachusetts.  The reason I've decided to pursue the MSAH degree is to work towards a teaching position at a Dental Hygiene school.  I don't want to give up my clinical work, but I do want to give myself more options for the future.
