Barbara has a rich history in dentistry. Her father, uncle, and brother were all dentists. She worked in their office, both as an assistant and at the front desk. After getting married and having children, she went back to work in the health care field, this time at Hinsdale Hospital. She started as a maternity ward secretary and then was asked to be the secretary for the director of Maternal Child Nursing. After that, she became the secretary to one of the vice presidents of the hospital, then to the president. Ultimately, she became assistant to the president of the corporate headquarters of Adventist Midwest Health (AMH). Now she has come full circle, moving back into the field of dentistry.

Our experiences shape who we are and ultimately help us decide our path. Diana’s decision to pursue dentistry was based on a series of important events from her childhood, starting when her mom took her to a very nice pediatric dentist. The skill, care, and kindness shown by the doctor inspired her goal of becoming a similarly skilled and caring professional. When Diana got her green card through the Visa lottery, it was a happy day. She came into the United States and continued what she started in Romania. Working as a dental assistant in the Chicago area, she was able to meet many talented alumni of Harper College. During that time, she found out about a different profession: dental hygiene. Although she had learned a lot from her colleagues, she chose to do dental hygiene instead of dentistry. She considers dental hygiene a versatile career that gives her professional satisfaction and time for family. The knowledge she accumulated in Romania greatly reinforced her American experience. Diana and her husband, a software engineer, have a son and a daughter. They love to travel and have seen a small part of United States since coming here. She also likes to take long walks and read fashion magazines.

Leneda is a very brave woman, as she married Richard (Michele and Denise’s brother). Her son, Will, is also planning on working here one day.
