Office Manager

Hometown: Rexford, NY

The first job I ever had: Learn to skate coach!

Why did you decide on the dental field? I knew I wanted to be in the health care field. I was inspired by my mom who spent her career helping others. I was drawn to the dental field because I wanted to help. What I didn't expect is to fall in love with dental, helping our patients regain not only their proper oral and overall health but also restore their confidence, self-worth and change their view on dentistry. I love that everyday I get to do something I truly believe in and I am passionate about.

Hobbies and Interests: Spending time with my daughter and husband, we spend a lot of time outdoors and at the ice rinks supporting her love of skating. I love to do continuing education courses so I can better myself in all aspects of life. I also enjoy crafts, baking and reading!
