Hey Gang! Thanks for joining me on this crazy adventure of education and continued growth. Let me tell you a little about myself. I graduated from Oregon Health Sciences University in 2001 with a Bachelor Degree in Dental Hygiene and from Concordia University in 2013 with a Master Degree in Education.  Right out of dental hygiene school I worked in a small private practice for six years before I began to get "antsy". In 2007, I began teaching dental hygiene students in the collegiate setting. I have taught almost every topic we learn during those beginning years. Soon my specialties began to lie in oral pain management, anatomy, medical emergencies and instrumentation techniques.

​

When I am not teaching future dental hygienists you will find me presenting continuing education courses, working in private practice and diving into my passion of fitness.
