I am the lead dental assistant at Deschutes Dental Center. I graduated the dental assisting program in Bend in 2004 and worked in Prineville for a few years before moving to Texas with my family. Fortunately, we decided that central Oregon was the right place for us and moved back in 2013. I joined the Deschutes Dental Center team in 2014.  When I have free time, I enjoy spending time with my 2 kids, my husband Jesse, and my doggy Oakley. I also like scrapbooking with my mom, cooking, movies and relaxing in my pool. My favorite thing about dentistry  is connecting with the wonderful patients.
