Meet Our Team

I began a career in dentistry in 1994 after attending Apollo College Dental Assisting program and started as an Orthodontic Assistant, then briefly became Co-owner and Manager of a local dental practice. I also have a passion for skincare and maintain my license in Aesthetics. I grew up in San Jose, CA with my mother and spent many summers in AZ to visit with my father on the Indian Reservation. I eventually moved back to Arizona after high school and have raised my family here. When I'm not marketing I'm enjoying family gatherings, revamping recycled antiques, and practicing yoga.

I began my dental career in 1975, received my Assisting Certification at Maricopa Tech Community College and attended Phoenix College for general studies. When I was eight years old my fathers’ work transferred the family to Arizona from Texas. When I'm not assisting the doctor, I enjoy an active lifestyle with running, hiking, reading and going to the gym along with taking cruises and traveling to Rocky Point.

After a few years as General Manager for an ice rink here in the valley, I found myself in the dental field. I was fortunate to start my dental management career with a cosmetic restoration and implant specialist. It gave me a chance to experience a wide range of dental treatment and concerns.  I am extremely fascinated by the human body .  I absolutely love everything I have learned over the past few years. I am always happy to help our patients better understand their dental treatment and how to best utilize their dental benefits. I am a huge advocate for technology and also pleased to help integrate it in our office.  When I am not at the office, you can find me at one of the valley’s many ice rinks with my son.  My husband and I spend most of our family time on trips to watch our son play both ice and roller hockey. We are also active in both the Buddhist and Veteran communities in Arizona
