With over 28 years' experience in the dental field, I guess you could say that I am passionate about dentistry. I was a dental assistant for my first ten years in the profession and learned first-hand how patients should be treated clinically. I have worked in various dental specialties including general dentistry, oral surgery, and periodontics. Since 2017, I have been privileged to work as the practice coordinator in the office of Dr. Cohen and our amazing staff.
I am a mom to several rescue cats and a dog. I am a lover of all animals and practice a vegan lifestyle. My hobbies and passions include baking, bowling, golf, and spending time with my furry family, biped family and friends. I am also certified as an addiction counselor and as a phlebotomist. Throughout my life I have always enjoyed working with and helping people. I hope to be able to help each and every one of you as well.
