Summary
Dana sits down with Whitney Howerton, RDH, to unpack a career that didn’t follow a straight path. Whitney shares how an initial goal of becoming a dentist shifted into dental hygiene, then evolved into clinical practice, education, industry leadership, and eventually a vice president role within a global dental company. What stands out isn’t a perfectly mapped plan, but a pattern: she stayed engaged, said yes to aligned opportunities, and continued building skills that translated across settings.
