Summary

I'm a highly motivated team player who is enthusiastic and genuinely enjoys helping others. I exhibit a warm welcoming personality, and have a heart for patient care. Along with a caring disposition, I pride myself in providing high quality dentistry.

I have been an assistant for the last eleven years, and have just moved to the Clarkston/Lewiston area, where I am now hoping to find my new dental family.

I truly enjoy a team concept and feel that this is what helps a successful practice to flourish.
