Teresa
Meet Teresa, a seasoned Registered Dental Hygienist with an unwavering commitment to oral health and patient care. With a wealth of experience spanning 19 years in the industry, Teresa has become an invaluable asset to Steele Dentistry, where she has passionately served for the past 1.5 years.
Teresa's journey into the world of dental hygiene began with her pursuit of an Associate of Applied Science degree from Lakeland College. This formal education laid the foundation for her extensive expertise and proficiency in her role. Over nearly two decades, she has honed her skills, adapting to evolving industry standards and ensuring top-tier patient experiences.
What sets Teresa apart is her genuine affection for the people she works with and the diverse array of patients she encounters daily. Her face lights up as she talks about the rewarding experience of seeing different individuals, each with unique needs and backgrounds. Working at Steele Dentistry, an exquisitely designed practice, adds to her enthusiasm, making every day a joy within its beautiful environment.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Teresa is a devoted mother of three vibrant children, each engaged in various activities that keep her actively involved. With ages ranging from 19 to 14, her life outside the dental office is as dynamic as her career. Two canine companions also share her household, adding an extra layer of warmth to her family life, which she's been happily married for 23 years.
In her leisure moments, Teresa finds solace in golfing and camping, connecting with nature's serenity. However, her greatest pleasure comes from watching her children excel in their pursuits, cheering them on from the sidelines. Her multifaceted interests and unwavering support mirror her approach to patient care—holistic, caring, and attentive.
And here's a delightful twist: Before her dental hygiene journey, Teresa was a member of the water skiing team at SIU Carbondale, showcasing her adventurous spirit and knack for pushing boundaries.
