Born and raised in Mill Creek, WA I could not imagine living in another state. I am a very active person, and on my days off you would probably see me snowboarding whenever possible or enjoying the wonderful scenery of the PNW.
I went to Lake Washington Technical College for dental assisting school and then became an EFDA and attended Seattle Central Community College. I then went on to become a Dental Hygienist and graduated from PIMA in Seattle in June 2017.
My passion for dentistry started in 2010 when I became a dental assistant. Being a dental assistant gives me the opportunity to help people to keep their mouths healthy. I enjoy getting to know people and helping them feel at ease and comfortable in the dentist office.
Besides my love for making jewelry, I love spending time outdoors from backpacking to snowshoeing in my free time. I feel very fortunate living near the North Cascades and being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery that Granite Falls has to offer. I am excited to be a part of the Granite Falls Dental team!

I assist the doctors with different procedures and support our patients while theyre in the chair. I also sterilize the equipment, tools, and clinic space, track and order supplies, and work on recall.
