She has a diverse resume, including starting a mobile preventative dental non-profit, mentorship program, consulting, grant writing, and interprofessional education. Crystal is passionate about medical-dental integration and access to equitable care. She has spent the majority of her career working to improve oral health disparities in vulnerable populations. Her unique experience caring for patients in varying mobile and public health settings has empowered her vision to help others to take the leap into untraditional dental settings.

Crystal works with several nursing schools to add intraoral imaging, oral cancer screening, interprofessional communication, and preventative oral health services into their curriculum.
