Seay: Lucy Hobbs’ Woman to Watch
The Lucy Hobbs Project, sponsored by Benco Dental, seeks to recognize distinctive talent in dental industry professionals, specifically focusing on individuals whose achievements emulate those of Lucy Hobbs, the first woman to earn a degree in dentistry.
This year, Dr. Seay was selected as the “Woman to Watch,” an award that goes to an “up-and-coming leader who utilizes her position to create positive change in the industry.” Dr. Seay earned her AACD Accreditation in 2014, and was recognized in DPR’s Top 25 Women in Dentistry in 2012. She is known for going above and beyond to reach and maintain excellence in her practice, and she is also committed to sharing that expertise as an instructor and mentor.
