Joffree Bunleang, BSDH, RDH, is the director of dental hygiene for Signature Dental Partners. She had a great career that became even better after she attended 2023 RDH Evolution and learned about and applied for this opportunity.

Joffree explains her new role, how she’s learning a lot about the business side of hygiene working with offices, and she visits schools to share some of this business information with students.

Joffree feels like she’s helping take hygiene education to the next level and offering something not normally taught in hygiene classes. The business knowledge can make a difference when students apply for their positions.

What about hygienists who want to change careers later in their career? RDH Evolution helped guide Joffree, and it can guide you too. Here are more of her tips for a successful transition within our busy profession. There are so many opportunities!
