966 Changing Demographics with Nicole Noble, MA, Student at MWU AZ : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

Nicole Noble is currently in her first year of Dental School at Midwestern University Glendale campus.  She is an AZ native who grew up in Show Low, AZ with 5 siblings.  Her father graduated from University of Pacific in 1975 and opened a practice in Show Low where Nicole started assisting him during high school.  She went on to pursue marriage, motherhood and a cosmetology license.  After 4 years working in a salon, she decided dental assisting was where her heart was.  She was an assistant at an office in Glendale for many years, and after her divorce in 2010, she was inspired to become a dentist.  She had her heart set on Midwestern University.  A single mother of 3 girls she was working part-time and taking classes full-time. It took her 6 years, an AS, BS and MA and 3 application cycles to finally be accepted at MWU.  She is truly living her dreams now and she feels very strongly that girls and women should be encouraged and supported in dental careers.  She is interested in giving back to the community by working in the non-profit realm to provide dentistry for single mothers.  She strives every day to inspire her daughters to work hard and set goals to make themselves better people.
