Get ready to welcome back Dr. Amanda Seay, the cosmetic dentist who moonlights as a dental photographer. She’s releasing her new book on dental photography, See, just in time for the new year.
Dr. Seay didn’t have a solid plan after high school. She was a dancer, trained in ballet, and later a cheerleading instructor in college. Dental school wasn’t on her radar until her best friend mentioned she was going. Random moments like these are speckled throughout Dr. Seay’s incredible journey, and these random moments lead her to some really big things.
You never know who you’re going to meet in your life, or where these people might lead you. When you find inspiration in a best friend or a mentor (sometimes they can be both!), it can open up so many different doors of opportunity. Dr. Seay takes us down all the twists and turns of her career path, one she never once considered, and introduces us to all of the key people who influenced her.
