Registered Dental Assistant
I have been licensed for 30 years as a registered dental assistant. I enjoy getting to know the patients and helping and supporting them through their dental care while taking the time to make you feel relaxed and special.
When finding me outside of work, I could be hanging out with my husband, my 2 young adult kids, 2 high schoolers, biking, hiking, painting, gardening, craftswomen, and repairing surfboards. I enjoy life…
