I have been a Dental Assistant for 5 years and have had the joy of being with this practice for 4 and 1/2 of those 5 years, with many, many more to come. I have one daughter, Chloe, who is the light of my life, as well as my 3 dogs. In my spare time, I love to relax, watch Netflix and enjoy time with my family and friends. When I can squeeze it in, I enjoy taking landscape, portrait, and action photography. A few things on my bucket list are skydiving, scuba diving, and travelling to Scotland and Thailand.
