2024 marked my 20th year of being a registered dental hygienist! My experience has been with both adults and children, but pediatrics is where I want to be. I have two children of my own, which led me back to working with kids. They have allowed me to relate to all my patients in ways I never could before. The things I learn from them, whether it be dental-related or life-related, are mind-blowing sometimes! Our goal as a whole is to make sure we provide the best dental treatment with the BEST experience. We want these kids to walk out *loving* the dentist, and we put our hearts and souls out there! I enjoy my clinical work, but I also really look forward to times I get to go into the community for our education programs at local schools, daycares, and pre-schools, and for our Buttonwood Park Zoo sponsorships–meeting new people and educating as much as we can.

I love my family, including my tuxedo cat, Stella. I really enjoy a good cup of coffee, good music, peonies, and hydrangeas. I enjoy traveling, sports, and cooking. Family is key, and that's what we have at SCS.
