About Joanne
DAC wasn't built in
a
boardroom.
It was built in operatories, sterilization rooms, and long shifts where everything depended on the assistant to keep things moving. After 30+ years as a Dental Assistant and 7 years as an instructor, Joanne created the resource she always wished she had.
"I see you. I know this role. And I know it can be better."
DAC exists to elevate Dental Assistants through real-world support, practical systems, leadership development, and professional growth. No fluff — only experience, standards, and deep respect for the profession.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is for dental assistants at every stage — whether you're just starting out, looking to step into a Lead DA or Office Manager role, or want to build more confidence and leadership skills in your current position. If you're ready to grow, you belong here.
Absolutely. Everything is designed with busy DAs in mind. Coaching sessions are flexible, all calls have replays, and our resources are built to be quick-action — not more homework. Even 30 minutes a week can create real momentum.
Most programs teach clinical skills. We focus on what no one else does — career strategy, leadership development, salary negotiation, and building the soft skills that actually get you promoted. This is coaching, not coursework.
That's completely normal. We offer a free discovery call so you can ask questions, share your goals, and see if the Collective feels right — no pressure, no hard sell. The DAs who join usually say they wish they'd started sooner.
"Dental Assistants are the ultimate multitaskers. Your growth matters. And it starts with owning your role."
When Dental Assistants grow and lead with clarity, the entire practice benefits. Workflow improves. Communication gets stronger. And practices bring in more revenue. The ripple effect is real.

What Our DAs Are Saying
Real stories from dental assistants who stepped up and transformed their careers.
"I went from feeling invisible to getting promoted to Lead DA within three months. The coaching gave me the exact words and confidence I needed to step up."
"I negotiated a $5/hr raise for the first time ever — and got it. This program literally pays for itself. Every single DA deserves this kind of support and strategy."
"Finally, someone who actually gets what it's like to be a DA. The systems are practical, the community is fire, and I've never felt more confident walking into my practice."
"The career roadmap alone was worth it. I went from 'just assisting' to being the go-to person my entire team looks up to. Joanne truly understands this profession inside out."
"I was burned out and ready to quit dentistry altogether. DAC helped me find my voice, set boundaries, and fall back in love with what I do. Game changer doesn't even cover it."
