Jackiehas been in the field of dentistry for 6 years as a dental assistant. I wanted to become a dental assistant to help put people at ease when they are getting a procedure done since I know a lot of people who are afraid of going to the dentist. My favorite procedure to assist with is Composite Veneers, because you can quickly see the transformation in a persons smile with just a few tweaks. My hobbies include playing sports, spending time with my husband, family, & friends, and spoiling my dogs.

I was first introduced to the world of dentistry when I worked with special needs children overseas. Thats when I realized that a smile is worth more than a thousand words.

That alone is what makes me love what I do.
