Maryana Kit a dental assistant at Harmony Dental Arts

MARYANA KIT

My name is Maryana Kit. I was born in Ukraine. In my high school years, I could not choose between math and dentistry and finally, I graduated from Lviv National University with a PhD diploma in mathematics and mechanics.

I met Dr. Sokolina in the United States and she gave me a chance to try myself in a dental office. My first weeks with this dental team was so excited that I decided to continue studying dentistry. Soon I finished Dental Radiology courses and got my first license in this field. Right now, I proceed with studying at the Dental Studies Institute of New Jersey and hope to become a Certified Dental Assistant shortly.

I enjoy working with great coworkers and happy to help our patients.
