Dental College of Georgia graduate Amber Thomas completed her undergraduate degree at 22. Now, at 35, she has graduated again, stepping into the profession she has dreamed about since she was a child.

She now has her degree and will soon begin her career at two private dental practices, Myers Family Dental and Magnolia Family Dentistry. Congratulations, Amber! (fb)
