Today I’m talking with Jessica Atkinson, a co-founder of Hygiene Edge. As a dental hygienist, Jessica has involved herself in every aspect of her line of work from clinical hours to education to lobbying. It would be an understatement to say that she’s passionate about what she does. That passion fuels her to educate in the traditional sense-- teaching hygiene students-- but also to educate her peers and dentists on how hygienists can practice to the full scope of their abilities to better serve patients and allow dentists more focused time for their expertise. Listen to how she talks about the importance of including others in your cause, those that help you with your ideas, but also those that play a crucial role in pushing that idea forward.
