I was raised in Newport, RI and moved to San Diego, CA in 1992. I was a dental assistant before going to school and becoming a dental hygienist. I have been in a dental field for over 25 years. What I love most about being a dental hygienist is meeting new people and building relationships. I enjoy connecting with my patients, educating, supporting them and taking their oral health to the healthiest level. I am always taking continuing education classes so I can provide my patients with the latest and best in the oral health and the hygiene field.
My time off is spent with my husband Sal, 19 year old son Connor, 21 year old daughter Isabella and my poodle Cosette. I love traveling to Europe and cooking Italian cuisine. I am so happy to be part of Dr. Averys team and to work in the community I live in.
