You have heard Elvis talk about the Mastering exocad Course he took from the Institute of Digital Dentistry. Well we had the amazing opportunity to talk to the instructor of the series, Marjorie Andrade. Marjorie has a fascinating and fast-tracked journey into the world of teeth. While still in Brazil, she went to technician school and found herself in a lab learning digital in just a few days. Eventually she was so good and fast, so after work she would freelance for people all over the world. It wasn't long before she connected with Dr. Ahmad and was recording (in two languages) the exocad course and then moving all the way to New Zealand to work at the lab of her dreams. All this in less than 5 years!
