I’m certified in nitrous oxide, dental radiology, CPR, AED, and BLS. I continue to grow my knowledge by frequently taking continuing education courses in the field of dentistry. I am also a mom of a two-year-old boy named Easton.

I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors. I have one daughter and recently became a grandmother.

I have three cats, a dog, and a bird, and I’m thankful to live in a home so full of life!
