My passion for dentistry sparked shortly after my first job working as a dental assistant. The love only grew more when I attended Fox College in 2018, where I graduated with an Associate of Applied Science in dental hygiene. From there, possibilities were endless, and I took on a job with the team at Prairie Walk Dental.
My goal is to provide high quality care for my patients. The genuine interactions between my patients and me come from the love I have for my profession. Listening to my patients helps me choose which educational points I need to focus on with them. It brings me joy when my patients walk out of the office with a better understanding of how to improve their health.
I believe doing what you love sends positive vibrations. Bringing comfort and joy to new patients comes naturally because I am a people person. I come from a huge family who embedded so much love in me that I have so much to give back. I spend most of my time with my family, especially my nieces and nephews. Kids love me because I am a kid at heart!
