I was born and raised here in Hutchinson. I have worked in the dental field as a financial coordinator, assistant and a hygienist for over 20 years. In 2008, I graduated from Wichita State University with a degree in dental hygiene.

I have a passion for helping others and providing excellent dental care and patient service.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 children. I also love hiking, hunting, kayaking and CrossFit. I look forward to helping each patient with their oral health and providing you with a great experience here at our office.

I have spent nearly 20 years working in the dental field. My first job out of high school was as an assistant for a dentist in Hutchinson. I worked for him for 8 years until he decided to retire. My doctor then encouraged me to continue my education and become a dental hygienist. I took his advice and graduated with my bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene from Wichita State University in 2015. I love my job and I am very passionate about the dental field. There is no better feeling than having my patients walk out of our office with a smile on their face.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my son, Kohen, family and friends. We are all very outdoorsy and spend about every moment we can making memories camping, fishing and boating. I also enjoy golfing, hunting and I have been bowling in league since I was 3 years old.

I would love to welcome any new patients to Sage Brush Dental Health and help with all your dental needs.

As a dental hygienist, I strive to deliver exceptional care by helping patients achieve a happier, healthier life by teaching proper dental care and wellness that correlations with their systemic health. I enjoy establishing relationships with those around me and provide my patients with a smile that lasts.
