I graduated from Wrangell High School. After graduation I went to Renton Vocational School to study Cosmetology. I moved to Ketchikan and Started dental assisting for a wonderful dentist over 23 years ago. I went to college in Ketchikan and took many business classes, and at the same time became a certified dental assistant with DANB. My husband moved us up here to Palmer to start a new life in the valley and I started management at that time. I have taken many business classes here and have had many hours of continuing education to continue my certifications. With the skills I have learned over the years as a dental assistant I now manage two state of the art dental clinics. I love all the staff that we have at both clinics and can’t believe how close you can become to each and every patient. What I love about this job is that you get to interact with the patient in such a loving and productive way to really make changes in their over all dental health. My husband Kevin and I have two wonderful children Tara and Kollin and are proud grand parents to Kynleigh Rene. As busy as our life is there’s nothing like spending time with family. I love to go anywhere outside and to see new things.
