I received my degree in dental hygiene from San Joaquin Valley College where I graduated at the top of my class. I have been practicing dental hygiene since 2011 and absolutely love it. I became part of the Foothill Smiles team in June of 2020. A crazy year turned out to be a great one because I stumbled upon such a wonderful office that I’m proud to be a part of.
My patient’s oral health is my top priority. I stay up to date with new information that comes out because science is always changing and therefore treatment is always improving. The care that I provide is gentle yet thorough. Rest assured that you will be in good hands here at Foothill Smiles because we treat each patient as we would our own family.
In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband Ryan and their newest addition daughter Everly.
