Terri started her dental career as an Oral Surgery Assistant in the mid 1980's, where she found her passion for infection control and dentistry. She served as the OSHA and Infection Control Coordinator for several years.

From there, she started her new career teaching others the importance of maintaining strict infection control and safety standards for their patients and employees. Terri also studied OSHA at Eastern Michigan University and attended multiple training symposiums regarding Infection Control and dental safety.
