Lissete
Dental Assistant
Hey! My name is Lissete Aburto, but most people just call me Liz. I recently moved to Madison in June 2017 from Beloit Wisconsin. I graduated from Beloit Memorial High school, where I participated in Latino Club, was a member of the varsity soccer team, and ran varsity cross country. After graduating, I decided to join the work force right away to explore what fields I enjoyed working in the most. After trying out the Dental Assistant position, I have realized that I enjoy gaining my patients trust and helping them feel more comfortable, given that not everyone’s favorite’s place is the dentist. I strive to one day become a Dental Hygienist, but first I want to continue gaining dental assisting experience!
