I was born in Wisconsin and moved to Oregon with my family when I was almost six. My siblings and I were raised in Newberg, Oregon. After graduating high school, my life went in many different directions. My employment ranged from fast food, auto parts, preschool owner/operator, and baker/cake decorator. After going to school for marketing and management and not really liking it, I went back to school at 40 years old for dental assisting. I loved it. I obtained my EFDA certificate which allows me to help the doctor with so many additional procedures. I am able to help with services like making temporary crowns and fillings and child cleanings. I continued to go to classes to get more certificates like sealant placement, cord packing, and soft relines.

My interests include most all things. I enjoy cooking, yard work, cars, hiking, college football, hockey, and any kind of craft. With almost anything, I can make something out of nothing. I am the mother of three amazing adult children. My two oldest have provided me with eight grandchildren. Ask to see what socks I have on the next time you come in!
