I am likely to be the first person to welcome you to our office with a friendly smile. I have worked for this practice since 1992. Please feel free to contact me regarding insurance, scheduling or financial needs. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time at my lake house with my children, grandchildren and friends fishing, boating and swimming.
I started in dentistry as a dental assistant and decided to return to school to become a registered dental hygienist. After graduating from William Rainey Harper College in Palatine, Illinois in 1997, I moved to the Kansas City area and joined this this practice. I absolutely love my job and enjoy getting to know my patients, many of whom feel like family to me. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two boys. I also enjoy “junking” around town to see what furniture I can repurpose or bring new life to!
I am originally from Wichita, KS and moved to the Kansas City area to attend the dental hygiene program at JCCC. After graduating in 2021, I was fortunate to land a position with this amazing team as a registered dental hygienist. Helping others with their oral health needs has been a truly rewarding experience. I could not have asked for a better practice to continue my journey. Aside from hygiene, I enjoy spending time writing and playing music with my husband, Derek. We love being outdoors and surrounding ourselves with family, friends, and our basset hound, Shania!
