I am a graduate of the University of Iowa with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. After college, I moved west and have embraced the small town mountain lifestyle. I give back to the community by volunteering with organizations providing community service to promote oral health care. It is a privilege to work with an exceptional team of dental care providers. At our practice, we believe in going the extra mile to help our patients. If you are looking for a dental practice that is devoted to making patients feel comfortable while providing them with exceptionally high quality results, you have come to the right place. The most frequent word used to describe my care is thorough. Your smile is your greeting to the world. When it sparkles so do you!

I am a Seattle native who moved to Hailey Idaho for Dental Hygiene School at CSI in 2014. I graduated in the top of my class in May of 2018 with a degree in Dental Hygiene. I started with Hillary Whipples' practice in November of 2021 and have been practicing in the dental field for several years as a dental assistant prior to Dental Hygiene school. My passion in dental hygiene is to help the community I live in obtain their optimal oral and overall health!!! In my senior year of dental hygiene school, I specialized in helping patients work through their dental anxiety as well as in periodontal procedures and elderly/special needs patients. I truly believes in making sure my patients feel calm and comfortable before during and after their procedure.

I am proud of the quality of care we provide for our patients. My husband and I moved to Fairfield in 1995, bought property and started a family. Within that time I started a career in the field of dentistry, and I can honestly say dentistry is my passion. I absolutely love working with people and forming new lasting friendships. I am a dental assistant, and as such, I help patients through every step of their dental procedures. I am fortunate to be trusted by our patients and to have the opportunity to help make each one of them as comfortable and well-cared for as possible. It is a wonderful thing to love and enjoy your job. I can honestly say I love and enjoy mine. When I am not at work, its not a difficult thing to get out and enjoying our beautiful valley. I love to hike with my friends and spend time with my family. At Hillary Whipple DMD, we will take care of your dental procedures with care and compassion.

I have always felt fortunate to have been raised in Boise Idaho, and never tire of the views in the Sawtooth Wilderness while hiking. After graduating highschool, I attended Carrington College in Boise ID, and graduated with a degree in Dental Assisting. To further my education, I attended the College of Southern Idaho, and received an associates degree in Health Science. In 2018 I moved to Hailey Idaho to pursue my dental career. I truly enjoy patient care & oral health care education, and am thrilled to be working at Hillary Whipples Dental Practice. In the future, I plan to continue my education in the dental field to become a dental hygienist.

Ive lived in the valley most of my life, and consider Hailey my hometown. After working in Las Vegas as a veterinarian assistant and technician, I set my goals on moving back to the valley. Working with Dr. Whipple and her phenomenally professional team, was a desire I could only dream possible. I am thrilled for the opportunity to be part of the team, and couldnt be more happy to be back in the valley. I truly enjoy exploring all that Idaho has to offer from hiking familiar trails, to exploring new ones, skiing our famous Bald Mountain or snowshoeing around the Sawtooth Mountains, life is never uneventful here. Im excited for the chance to meet all of our patients and help attend each of you during your dental experience.

As a young adult working as a CNA, I took pride in the care I provided to patients. Later in life, I enjoy applying that same level of care as a bi-lingual dental assistant. I am so grateful to work for a practice that focuses on quality patient care. As a second generation local to the Wood River Valley, I appreciate all that the area has to offer. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my 10 year old son Charlie, going on outdoor adventures, and soaking up all that this amazing town has to offer.

I was born and raised in Idaho, and the Wood River Valley has been my home for most of my life. I have always had a very caring nature, which led me to obtain my CNA through the College of Southern Idaho. I have enjoyed working with both children and adults, and most recently as a Dental Assistant for Dr. Whipple. I enjoy being the contact person for patients from the moment they arrive, providing support wherever it is needed. I love to learn and putting my bilingual skills to use is beneficial to our patients as well as the staff. I enjoy spending time with my family, including my two children, and camping, hiking and all that the outdoors has to offer whenever possible.
