Maryam Hosseinmardi

Hygienist

Having graduated with my BS in Chemistry, I worked in the pharmaceutical laboratory of a major Drug Manufacturing company in Iran for 15 years. In 2013 I moved to the United States and for the second time, to earn my Dental Hygiene degree, I attended Georgia State. Thereafter, I started at my first dental office in 2017.

I enjoy the weekends hiking with my husband. I also have a gorgeous grandson who I love to take care of. In my free time, I play an Iranian instrument called the Setar or cook Persian food, which I’m quite skilled at.

I’m thrilled to have joined the Merchants Walk Office.
