Alex - PR Liaison

My name is Alex and I attend High Point University. My major is business administration with a minor in sales. One of my biggest achievements at High Point University is making the Dean’s List. Along with academics, I am a member of the club baseball team as well as the sales club.

At McDuffie dentistry I am the PR Liason. I market the dental office to the community and create partnerships with businesses and people that may not be aware of the many services that we offer. There are also times I am able to assist Dr. McDuffie with certain dental treatments. Either way, I love working here at McDuffie dentistry!

Growing up, I was always scared to come into a dental office because of my fear of getting teeth pulled. But now the dental office has become one of the places I desire to work. The reason why I have such a strong interest in dentistry is so that I can help people feel confident about their smile and their oral health. Seeing someone happy because of their smile makes my day and I want to continue to make people happy!
