With a background in immunology and global health, Joyce brings a science-based, people-centered approach to safety training — including the often-overlooked topic of workplace violence prevention. She’s passionate about helping dental teams create safer, more prepared work environments without the panic (and maybe even with a little humor). When she’s not translating regulations into real-world strategy, you can find her breaking down the science of infectious diseases to help dental professionals protect their patients, their teams, and themselves.
