I was born and raised on the Central Coast of California and moved to the Phoenix area about 5 years ago. I have been working as a dental assistant for about 6 years and have enjoyed assisting in procedures, building relationships with patients and teammates, and helping patients overcome their dental anxieties. Over the years, my passion for the field has grown and led me to continue my dental education. I look forward to beginning the dental hygiene program this upcoming year at Phoenix College, where I also completed general studies. In my free time, I enjoy relaxing with a good book or spending time with friends and family, trying out new foods around the valley, as well as road trips, and exploring different hiking trails with my 5 year old Chow/Husky mix Kuma.
