Dr. Dankworth prides herself on continuing her education through her membership in the California Dental Association, the American Dental Association, The Kois Center, the California Implant Institute, and DOCS Education.

Her education expanded outside of the dental clinic through various continuing education courses facilitated by the American Dental Association (ADA), and trips to the Dominican Republic. Traveling to the Dominican Republic allowed Dr. Dankworth to combine her love of education and service by providing dental care for underserved patients.

With a love for being outdoors, Dr. Dankworth is frequently hiking with her dog, swimming in the summers, or skiing in the winters.
