Dakota Parman

I graduated from Wilburton High School in 2011 and I began attending Northeastern State University shortly thereafter. While attending Northeastern, I had the opportunity to be a part of the NSU Presidential Leadership class that provided me with the chance to grow closer to the Tahlequah community in a number of ways. I graduated from the Tulsa Community College Dental Hygiene Program in 2015 and I utilized my skills working in nearby Muskogee, Oklahoma, until I married in the fall of 2016. At nearly the same time as my marriage the opportunity to join the team at Premiere Dentistry came about, allowing me to serve in the wonderful community of Tahlequah providing quality dental care. My husband and I have two playful fur babies and we enjoy watching sports and spending time with family.
