Her plan was to pursue a degree in dental hygiene, always striving to deepen her knowledge and grow within the field she was so passionate about.

Miranda had a unique ability to make patients feel comfortable and cared for, often turning anxiety into ease with just her presence. Her kindness wasn’t just noticed — it was deeply felt, by both her colleagues and the many patients she worked with. She wasn’t just liked — she was loved.
