Meet Andrea Hernandez
Founder, Career Strategist, Dental & Administrative Consultant
''Challenges aren’t roadblocks, they’re the training ground for your next level.''
With over 16 years of experience in dental and government operations, my passion for career coaching and consulting began when I was just 19 years old, working at a cardiologist’s office.
​
One day, a patient offered me a position at her dental practice. I told her I didn’t have any experience, but she hired me anyway. Two weeks later, she moved away, the dentist sold the practice, and I was left running the office on my own, learning everything dentistry had to teach me.
​
Over the years, I grew from a receptionist to an office manager, regional practice manager, and eventually an executive assistant supporting some of the highest-ranking executives in government.
Throughout my career, I noticed three things: practice owners often leaned on me for optimizing systems, I developed a genuine love for optimizing operations, and I discovered a natural passion for mentoring and helping professionals rise in their careers.
​
My transition experience had its challenges, but it fueled my passion to help professionals rise and thrive no matter what comes their way.
​
My passion for leadership and service also led me to join the military, where I had another opportunity to help soldiers with career guidance and resume development. My commitment to process improvement inspired me to earn my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification.
Whether you’re seeking career coaching, dental consulting, or an admin mentor, I’m here to help you unlock your potential and create meaningful change. It’s my passion to help you break through any challenges that you may be facing. Let’s work together to get your practice thriving, the career you deserve, and the fulfillment that comes from stepping into your power.
