Yesterday, the sun set on an eight-and-a-half-year journey in academia at my alma mata, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, and my one-year term as President of the Massachusetts Dental Society. Wow. What a ride! While in particular, the past year has had its challenges and very stressful days, I wouldn't change the learning, the friends I met along the way, or the opportunity to lead amazing students, faculty, staff, and dental teams across the Commonwealth.

This morning, the sun rose on what I expect will be another amazing adventure of learning, meeting new people, and forming new friendships. What excites me most about joining the world of corporate dentistry for the first time in my almost 50 year career, is the ability to go back to what I love most - being innovative; being forward-thinking; and, finally being the square peg in the square hole and not the round peg always trying to fit into the square hole - and, getting stuff done.

Meet the new Senior Vice President of Promethean Dental Systems, an innovative, forward-thinking, disruptive company in dental education. I think our CEO, Scot Armstrong says it best: "Promethean Dental Systems provides proven integration services and educational courses with dental fidelity that enable fair standards and objective assessments." I can't wait to get started!

I saw this today and I just HAD to share it. As women, we don't take our worth seriously enough, nor do we recognize our true value. If we all stand together and realize that our future depends on what we are not willing to compromise on today, your future will be much brighter tomorrow.

Ladies, please do not undersell your talents!
