“The years I have spent as a student, mother, waitress, bartender, factory worker, professional ski patroller, forest service employee, small business owner and dental hygienist all contribute to the teacher I am today!
“My favorite course to teach is Dental Radiology because this is the ultimate final exam for students to demonstrate what they have learned. It is exciting to realize that with this knowledge and experience, students can pursue worthwhile and productive careers in the dental health field. Being a part of students’ education and watching them transform into dental professionals is the best aspect of teaching for me.”
Davies was recently chosen as a finalist for a Civic Engagement Award presented by Oregon Campus Compact for her role in launching a local low-cost dental clinic. The recognition acknowledges exceptional leadership and vision in promoting community service.
