Raised in a small town in northern Pennsylvania, I pursued a career in dental assisting. After becoming a Certified Dental Assistant in 1999, I continued on expanding my knowledge in the Dental Hygiene field. After graduating from the Dental hygiene program in 2001, I migrated to the south Florida area and then relocated to the Atlanta area in 2010.
At this time, I was introduced to an incredible office where I met Dr. Maha. We worked hand and hand and eventually became her assistant. After assisting for many years, I took some time to branch out and start my own dental staffing company, Distinct Dental Staffing. Here, I get to enjoy a little of everything. Staffing offices with great employees has been very rewarding and has lead me back to Dr. Maha in 2015.
Working so well together and giving patients our utmost care has been rewarding in itself. Our teamwork shown from all the staff makes each day a great day. The knowledge, kindness and excellent skills by Dr. Maha enables us to provide the best dental care possible.
