As a dental professional I have over 25 years of dental experience. While earning my B>A> at CSUC, I worked part time with a Pediodontist as well as an Oral Surgeon. After being accepted into the dental hygiene program at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, Ca. I worked part time with an orthodontist. I retuned to Contra Costa County after completion of the dental hygiene program, where most of my career has been spent in General Dentistry. As a Dental Hygienist, I consider the field as a life long learning process where I give genuine care to each person I treat. With enthusiasm, I encourage patients to discover, harness and develop their abilities to take the best care of their teeth and maintain a healthy, bright and beautiful smile for a lifetime.

Dentistry is an exciting part of todays health care. With more than 20 years of patient care experience, I can help you with any of your scheduling, billing or insurance needs. I enjoy my profession, as well as being part of a stellar team. Outside the office, I love to spend time with my family & Italian Greyhound (Bella) we love to hike, bike and enjoy the outdoors. Traveling and seeing the world are also at the top of my list.
