With 21 years of dental hygiene experience under my belt (and probably a little floss stuck somewhere), I’ve been keeping smiles bright and gums happy since before electric toothbrushes got fancy. Originally from Texas, I traded in my cowboy boots for flip-flops when I moved to Arizona in 2009.

I’ve been happily married for over 20 years and am the proud mom of two boys and three dogs—meaning I’m an expert at wrangling both humans and animals. My favorite part of being a hygienist? Teaching patients the secrets of great home care (because flossing once the night before your appointment doesn’t fool me).

Whether I’m perfecting your brushing technique or cracking a joke to keep you at ease, my goal is to make your dental visit as fun, friendly, and educational as possible. So sit back, relax, and remember—I can always tell if you haven't been flossing! 😁
