I have been in dentistry for more than 30 years. I wanted to be part of a dental team that is committed to their patients, continuous learning, and keeping up with advancing technology. I enjoy working at Brighton Healthy Smiles. Our doctors and staff are so caring and compassionate. This job is so interesting; each patient has a different need and each case is unique. The combination of working so closely with patients and the incredible opportunity to learn and grow makes this the perfect job for me. When not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching my sons sports, gardening, cooking, and doing things outdoors.
