I grew up in a small town in western Washington. I met my husband at age sixteen and we have had many adventures over the years. Our biggest adventure was a five month backpacking trip through Europe in 2007, visiting over twenty countries. We moved to Boise when we returned, to escape the rain of western Washington.
I really got interested in dental hygiene as a senior in high school. I ended up becoming a dental assistant to familiarize myself with the dental world. I worked as an assistant for two years before getting my dental hygiene education at Shoreline Community College in north Seattle.
My husband and I now have a very energetic son with a ton of personality and the sweetest, sassiest little daughter. We enjoy being outside, whether were camping, hiking, fishing or just having a picnic in the park. My family is the best part of my life.
I have wanted to be a dental hygienist from the time I was a little girl. I remember going to get my teeth cleaned and thinking all the hygienists were so nice, got to wear cute scrubs, and got to use fun instruments. I didnt realize at such a young age that dental hygiene is a profession full of so much more than cute scrubs and fun instruments! Shortly after completing my first Bachelors of Science in Exercise and Wellness at BYU, I jumped back into school to pursue my dream, and completed my second Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene from Utah College of Dental Hygiene.
I grew up in the Boise/Eagle area for most of my life, and met my husband at the age of 15- a high school sweetheart success story! We have a fun and active son, and his personality is bigger than his little body. We also have a sweet and animated daughter who keeps us on our toes. They fill our lives with so much light! As a family we enjoy spending time in McCall on the lake, and just enjoy the outdoors in general whether we ride bikes, go for walks, or play sports in the backyard. I also enjoy reading and music.
I have been working at Peterson Family Dentistry since the beginning of 2012, and feel blessed to have this dental family!

The relationships and experiences made here in our office with our patients and with our team have made dental hygiene such a rewarding part of my life.
When I was little I used to make my little sisters lay down and I would pretend I was cleaning their teeth with toothpicks! The first thing I notice about people are their teeth; thats always why I wanted to be a dental assistant. I went to the Milan Institute to study Dental Assisting and I have been a dental assistant since 2012. I started out in pediatrics where I worked with many amazing kids! I moved to North Dakota for two years where I worked in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery.I familiarized myself with the art of dental surgery procedures! I have been with Dr. Peterson since 2016. I enjoy working at Peterson Family Dentistrybecause we do so many varities of great dental work. I strive to make sure our patients feel comfortable in every aspect. I am also bi-lingual!
When I was in braces as teenager, thats when I knew I wanted to be in dentistry. In 2015 I joined the USAF and did my dental training in San Antonio, Texas. Ever since then, I have been with Dr. Peterson and our amazing team. I love working here because I love helping people feel good about their smiles and achieving their dental goals.
