Skills Interests
I am confident in chairside assisting and pride myself on capturing particularly difficult radiographs. My gentle disposition allows me to comfort my patients and help them feel at ease throughout their treatment. At home, I am an avid knitter and painter; l love anything I can craft with my hands. Aside from four handed dentistry, I also have to use all hands on deck at home as I am married with three children. :-)
