Ive been with Wallingford Dental Associates for 19 years. I am certified in Radiation Health and Safety as well as Infection Control. Getting in the dental field has been the biggest change in my professional life; a change I never regretted in spite of many challenges and changes. I love most the interaction with our patients not just helping to keep their smiles healthy but also to share the moments of our lives happy, sad, great and not so great, pictures, memories and achievements. I love to see kids grow into young adults and then bring into the office their own children, just like a family. In my free time I love walking, working in my little garden, knitting but most of all I love spending time with my grandchildren Victoria and Jacob.
