I am the friendly voice over the phone and the first smiling face you will see when you enter our door. I have worked in dentistry for over 20 years and Dr. Wenzel since 2009. I am passionate about being an advocate for the patient, navigating the confusing world of insurance, finance, and unknown treatment, all the while building personal relationships. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and the best little dog on the planet!
I have enjoyed over 20 years of experience in the dental field, including working as part of our wonderful team. Being a survivor of terminal cancer as a teenager as given me a special empathy for patients dealing with the fear and uncertainty that often comes with medical procedures and I excel at helping those patients walk through their treatment with peace and confidence. Outside the office, I am mother to four sons and grandmother to three grandchildren. I love participating in all manner of dog sports with my four bulldogs, including some TV and movie work.
I have worked with Dr. Wenzel since 2014. I graduated from Bellingham Technical College in 2013 and received my AAS degree as a Certified Dental Assistant. Being fluent in Spanishbrings a much needed element to our practice. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have two beautiful daughters and one awesome son. When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, the outdoors, and cheering on the Seahawks. GO HAWKS!
