My Special Story

I began working at HealthPark when I was a senior in high school. My initial responsibility was cleaning and sterlization.

Right away, I knew that dentistry was the field for me. I worked part time as an assistant during college. I graduated from Sinclair’s dental hygiene school in 2003. It’s hard to believe that this year will be my 12th year work anniversary.

I have loved my journey at HealthPark. I feel very fortunate to have such great patients that I can come to work and care for every day. It is very satisfying to help people to have a healthy smile.
