I attended Northwest Technical College in Bemidji for Dental Assisting graduating in 2008 as an LDA. I worked as a Dental Assistant for ten years five of those were spent at Bemidji Dental Clinic before accepting the position as Office Manager.

I began my dental career as a dental assistant, receiving my dental assisting education from Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Moorhead and furthered my dental knowledge with a dental hygiene degree through Lake Superior College in Duluth. After completing dental hygiene, I continued with my education at the University of Minnesota, receiving my bachelors in dental hygiene. I have been practicing preventative care at Bemidji Dental Clinic for 5 years and have been in the dental field for 12. I grew up in Fosston, Minnesota and have lived all around beautiful Minnesota. My husband and I live near Bemidji with our two little boys, Mack and Jett, and our pets, Proud Mary and Seger. When not at the dental office, I love to spend my time with my family and in the great outdoors hiking, fishing, gardening and riding motorcycle.

I graduated in 2000 from Augsburg College with a BA degree in Music Performance and later went on to graduate with my BS degree in Dental Hygiene from Argosy University in 2009.
