I have been working at Armitage Oral Surgery since October 2014 coordinating our patient schedule and treatment plans. I was promoted to Office Manager in 2017 and look forward to the challenges as we shape new programs in our office! I love to entertain and explore the new restaurants in the Chicago area. Ask me for a recommendation! I also have 2 dogs that keep me on my toes!
I have been with Armitage Oral Surgery for over two years, starting out assisting our surgeons. I now organize education events and am a CPR instructor for Chicago Area dental offices. Outside of our office I love to spend time in the outdoors! In the summer I am usually swimming, kayaking, or hiking with my 2 year old pup, Bella. I also LOVE to travel both locally and internationally!
I have worked in the dental industry almost 9 years. I am an insurance pro and I work hard for our patients. When I am not at the office I enjoy spending time reading, working out, playing soccer, hanging out with my family and I also speak 2 languages!
