On this podcast episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Shaina Holman from Holman Family Dental Care about the power of social media and how you can use it to bring more patients to your practice each month.
Shaina is from Chapel Hill, NC and graduated from East Chapel Hill High School. She always had a passion for science, teaching, and art and knew she wanted to choose a profession that would allow her to have a significant impact on the community. While still in high school, Shaina had the opportunity to research at Duke University, which resulted in her first publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Shaina completed her undergraduate education at Duke University, where she majored in Biological Anthropology and Anatomy and graduated with distinction. Throughout her time in college, Shaina worked in several research labs because she loved hands-on learning and applying what she learned to solve problems. Her passion for dentistry began with a project for her Ethnobiology class while studying abroad in Costa Rica. When she returned, she started the Pre-Dental Society, and the rest is history!
