Where Are They Now? Academy Alumnus Emma Heiland: Successful Dental Technician and Artist
I attended Skagit Academy beginning in 7th grade. I graduated high school from SVC through Running Start in 2017. During my Sophomore year of high school, I attended NCTA and completed their Dental Assisting program. After high school, I transferred to BTC to become a Certified Dental Assistant. I currently work at Hilde Family Dentistry in Burlington.
Apart from being an avid reader, art has always been a passion for me, and I spend much of my free time painting. I hope to someday have my works scanned so I am able to sell prints as well as original pieces.
