I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. During my high school career my parents moved my two older sisters and I to Akron. I graduated from Firestone High School and soon after that I pursued my associates degree in dental assisting. Currently I am attending Case Western University to pursue my certification in expanded functions dental auxiliary. I’ve been with my high school sweetheart since before we graduated in 2013. My hobbies include hiking, working out and taking naps.

I was born in Waterloo, Iowa and moved to Mesa, Arizona when I was seven years old and that is where I grew up. When I was twenty-four years old, I decided to go back to school and chose dental assisting. I do multiple tasks around the office from drawing blood for implant procedures (which I never thought I would do!) to handling insurance claims. I am a proud mom of two very handsome boys. I like to hang out with friends on the weekend, bowl, read, be outside and enjoy life!

I have been a registered dental hygienist since 1989. I love patient education in good oral care to maintain health for a lifetime. I was born and lived my elementary years in Kent Ohio, then moved to Michigan and lived there until after I was married. I have lived in Tallmadge area for over 25 years. I have education in nursing, a dental assisting certificate, and dental hygiene license. I love spending time with my family and seven young grandchildren. I love outdoor work, running, walking, kayaking, hiking, etc. I enjoy cooking, baking, and reading. I love all the seasons, even Ohio snow! I love mountains and exploring all God’s creation.

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and moved to North Canton, Ohio in 2011. I have been in the dental field since 1982, first as a dental assistant for ten years before going to dental hygiene school. I am married and have two furry “kids.” Ollie is my dog and Sofie is my cat, who are the loves of my life! In my spare time I love to visit family in PA, take walks with Ollie, and spend time with our Church family.
