I started my dental career right after I graduated High school 10 years ago. I knew from a young age that I wanted to choose a career that would impact the life of someone.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband Dustin and my son. When I’m not working in the office or playing with my family I enjoy being a wedding photographer.
