Rachael Zustin was destined to have the RDH title behind her name- but that doesn't mean sacrifice and hard work weren't involved. With (literal) sweat and tears involved, she was successful in becoming a dental hygienist, facing several obstacles on the way. She is an inspiration and proof that if you set your mind to something, you CAN do it! Rachael struggled to get into dental hygiene school, and when she finally did, she faced intense grief at the start of her program. Still, she managed to find a stronger "why" and used passion to fuel her.
