98: Part 1 - Dental Hygienists and Graduate Students Marcus and Lily

Lily and Marcus are pursuing master's degrees in dental hygiene, and both join me to share their unique journeys as RDHs. Lily has been a hygienist for over two decades and, outside of studying, works part-time and volunteers as a hygienist, while Marcus has been a hygienist for seven years and currently works in pediatric hygiene. They share how they both came from completely different careers (technology and construction), yet both found transferable skills they could apply to dental hygiene.
