I have been a dental hygienist and since 1987, and as a graduate of Milwaukee Area Technical College, I received the Community Service Award. I joined this outstanding office in October of 2000 as a Hygienist and Periodontal Therapist. 

I'm married to Douglas and our two daughters have made us proud grandparents. I enjoy traveling, crafts, shopping, bowling and card games. Disney World is my favorite vacation destination and I have several Disney collectibles to prove it!

I love hygiene and the one-on-one relationships that I have with my patients. I also have a real sensitivity for those going through or have been through cancer since it also interrupted my life with chemo and radiation treatments. By the way, ask me to show you my great Lumineers!!!

I received an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene from Milwaukee Area Technical College in 1999 and a certificate to administer local anesthesia from WCTC in 2000. I started my dream job at GFD in 2005 as a Hygienist and Periodontal Therapist. I call it my dream job because I have had the opportunity to look behind the scenes of a number of dental offices and I really appreciate the integrity, professionalism, quality care, friendliness, caring attitude, state-of-the-art equipment and leading edge services that GFD offers.
 
I've lived in Greendale for most of my life. Graduated from high school and now live there with my husband Jeff. I have two adult sons and he has two adult daughters. I enjoy being with people as demonstrated by working retail at Gimbels and Boston Store for approximately 20 years.

In my spare time I have received a license to manage a commercial kitchen from WCTC for Faith Community Church and Day Care. In addition I like to read, cook, garden, scrapbook, knit, crochet, collect pottery, attend Brewer's baseball/family softball/Marquette basketball games, go to movies, do road trips, and spend time with family and friends.

 

I graduated in 1997 from dental hygiene school at Marquette University with an enthusiasm for teaching, treating and guiding patients in proper oral hygiene. I genuinely care for any person I see and enjoy the chance to learn about his or her life outside of dentistry.

I joined Gentle Family Dentistry (GFD) in March of 2000 after I thoroughly check it out including coming in as a secret patient to watch their processes and see how they treated people. I was so impressed that I asked to join the practice.

I love the fact that GFD encourages me to create an environment where people are more than patients and can come to a safe, secure and comfortable place--so they can relax and just be themselves.

I have a great interest in nutrition and share what I can to help patients improve their oral health.

My husband, Troy and I have two girls and a boy and truly enjoy home schooling them.
