about me
I joined the world of dentistry in 2005 and worked as a dental assistant and dental hygienist until completing dental school in 2013. My husband and I are kept busy with our six children. If I get a spare second, I sneak away with a good book.

I enjoy the Game of Thrones books and TV series. I will travel far and wide to go to a music festival with my husband, which is mostly his choice, but his enthusiasm is contagious! My favorite team is our Broncos!
