Dawn Martinez, Dental Technician and Owner of Spiffy Safety Eyewear, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. The selection recognizes Dawn Martinez’s commitment to excellence in the healthcare industry.

Martinez, who attended Catherine's College in Burbank, has spent the last seven years in the dental field, restoring, refilling and extracting teeth, as well as taking impressions and moldings. But it wasn't until five years ago that she decided to take hygiene to the next level.

Developed after working with a nervous little girl in the dentist's chair, Martinez decided to let her wear her OSHA eyewear to make her feel better. After deciding to take them home and decorate them for future patients, her fellow staff and patients encouraged her to make more. Soon after, her new business was formed.

Spiffy Safety Eyewear is a designer eyewear company specifically made for dental and medical settings, testing facilities, school and science class settings, and at-home arts and crafts and building environments. "Other people's encouragement and their belief in me has been one of my biggest inspirations," she explained of her new business.

Martinez hopes to someday sell her business and get into other aspects of dental, but for the time being she is very proud and excited about her online eyewear business.

After just recently visiting Port au Prince, Haiti, Martinez hopes to volunteer her time there in the near future. She has already sent over some of her eyewear, and hopes to send over other donated oral hygiene goods in the near future, and maybe her services as well. She is also a volunteer for AHAMES, also known as Americhelp, a non-profit organization that helps to make healthcare accessible to the neglected areas of Haiti. In her spare time, Dawn enjoys horses, snorkeling and volleyball.
