'I love caring for my long-term patients as well as meeting new patients. I have developed great relationships over the years with so many of our patients. Building trust and sharing my dental knowledge is really important to me. I really enjoy seeing patients of all ages, from making a toddler's first appointment memorable to making sure my 90-year-old patient is comfortable. I have shared a lot over the years (I've been told I like to talk!) but have gotten back so much more. I am glad I chose to be an RDH!

I married my high school sweetheart Mark and we have 2 boys. Mark is part owner of Town & Country Electric in Zeeland. Our son Mitchell is serving as a 2nd lieutenant in the U.S. Army and our son Andrew is an electrical apprentice at Town & Country Electric. I love being social! I enjoy hiking, traveling, digital scrap-booking, playing games & reading.”
