Kellie Irene Flynn says that first and foremost, she knows about
teeth. She is a dental hygienist at has worked at Downtown Family Dental
Partners in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years.
But she likes to explore her creative side, and has been delving deeper into that part of her personality for the last few years, as she prepares for the empty nest syndrome. Her youngest daughter is about to graduate from high school and head off to college in the fall; her two oldest children are already out on their own.
Kellie Irene Flynn has been drawing a lot, and also pursuing her interest in dance. She is the first to admit that as a dancer, she has a few shortcomings. “I dance like a dental hygienist,” she jokes. But it’s still something that she takes seriously, and enjoys quite a bit. “To me, dancing is a projection of my self-image.”
Dancing, she believes, is expressing herself in ways that words cannot. “The joy I have when I really love something, or personal resolve in the face of adversity or sorrow, or the great peace I feel as I prepare to get old, now that my kids are mostly grown up – these are things that words fall short of, but dance can beautifully express.” Dance is, she continues, is the ultimate expression of the human heart, and she believes that anyone can do it – even dental hygienists.
Kellie Irene Flynn attended Petaluma Community College and the University of Northern California, and has degrees in dental hygiene and philosophy.
