If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re nearing graduation, about to start your first job, or already feeling those new grad jitters. I get it…I’ve been there!
I’m Amber, the Director of Professional Success here at Cloud Dentistry. Before this role, I worked full-time as a dental hygienist. I graduated from hygiene school in 2018 and later earned my MBA in Healthcare Management. I never imagined my career would lead me here, helping dental professionals build careers they love, but I’m so grateful it did.
When I was in your shoes, I didn’t know what to expect from my first job. I hadn’t worked in a dental office before school, so navigating the “real world” after graduation was… a lot. That’s why I created the Professional Success Hub. It’s everything I wish I had when starting out, all in one place.

Your Career Survival Kit
Starting a new job is exciting… but it can also be overwhelming. Think of the Professional Success Hub as your ✨career survival kit ✨.
Here’s how I’d recommend using it:
Before Your First Day
Schedule a mock interview to get the nerves out of your system, or connect with a mentor who has been in your shoes so you don’t feel like you’re winging it.
Your First Few Months
Use wellness perks when the stress starts creeping in, and keep your skills sharp with free CEs so you’re learning and earning at the same time.
Long-Term Career Growth
Keep an eye out for new opportunities, set a schedule and pay that actually work for your life, and keep adding to your skills so you’re ready for whatever comes next.
A Final Note from Me
It doesn’t feel like long ago that I was sitting where you are - balancing excitement, fear, and the weight of the unknown. I promise, you have so much to look forward to.
Being a dental hygienist has opened doors for me both inside and outside the operatory. I still pick up shifts on weekends to keep my skills fresh and because I genuinely love connecting with patients. That same connection is why I care so much about creating resources for you.
You’re about to enter a profession that’s rewarding, challenging, and full of opportunities you may not even know exist yet. My hope is that the Professional Success Hub helps you find them and thrive when you do.
So, welcome to the next chapter of your career. You’ve got this… and we’ve got you.💙
