For over 25yrs. I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist and have enjoyed it immensely. By far, the best part of my job is meeting people throughout the years. I am committed to educating patients on the importance of good oral hygiene. Everyone on our team goes above and beyond to make sure each patient is comfortable every step of the way. I love to travel and have visited every continent with the exception of Antarctica. Brrrrrrr! Wish me luck!
