I have always wanted to be a dental hygienist. From a young age, I had a special interest in the profession, but it wasn’t until much later in life, after my children were raised, that I pursued my dream.
I graduated from Idaho State University with a degree in dental hygiene and a bachelor’s in science. I enjoy working with my hands so dentistry has been an exciting and rewarding career choice for me. However, the best part is the opportunity to work with the great people who visit Creekside Dental for their dental care.
Family time is important to me. I love spending time with my husband, our three children and their spouses, and our 12 grandchildren. Time spent together is truly treasured. Music has been a big part of my life. I play the piano and organ and taught music lessons for over 25 years before returning to university. When time allows, I also enjoy other hobbies such as sewing, gardening, rock-hounding or mororcycling.
I have been an expanded functions dental assistant since 2011 and have loved every minute of it. I love changing people’s lives by helping them through their fears of a dental visit and by transforming their smiles into something beautiful AND healthy. In my spare time I enjoy baking, sewing, journal writing and spending quality time with my loved ones!
