Meet Barbara: Founder and Director of Destiny's Dental Assisting Program

Hello! I’m Barbara, originally from New Jersey but raised in beautiful Sarasota, Florida. At 19, I took a leap of faith and moved to Italy, where my journey in the dental field began. With no prior experience, I was fortunate to be hired as a dental assistant by a compassionate doctor who believed in me. Within two years, I was managing her practice, and after five years, I realized I wanted to expand my skills further.

I returned to the U.S. to pursue my dreams, graduating with a Dental Hygiene degree in 2013 and an Exercise Science degree in 2010. My background also includes 13 years as a dental assistant and experience as a personal trainer, where I led boot camps.

In 2018, I founded Destiny Dental Assisting Program in Wyoming, now thriving in Sarasota, Florida. My mission is to provide others with the same opportunities I received—empowering individuals to transform their careers and elevate their lives.

I’m excited to guide aspiring dental professionals on their journey, and I look forward to sharing more about my experiences as I work towards becoming an author. Welcome to Destiny’s Dental Assisting Program!
