I grew up in Ames and graduated from Ames High School. After graduation I attended Iowa
State University where I majored in Biology and was the president of the Pre-Dental Club. Upon
graduation I matriculated to the University of Iowa College of Dentistry where I earned my
Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

I enjoy the broad scope of practice in general dentistry and take particular interest in esthetic
dentistry and oral surgery.

Your first visit to Campustown Dental provides the opportunity for both of us to get to know each
other better. You will have a chance to meet our team and discuss your oral health needs and
goals during a consultation with me and my assistant Erin.

We will take the time with you to obtain a comprehensive understanding of your overall health,
lifestyle habits and anything else that can impact your dental health so that we can offer the
highest quality of care to you, our patient. The personal aspect of having a medical professional
that is taking the necessary time and attention to detail is what sets this office apart from other
dentists. You are our patient, that is of the utmost importance to me, we have set in stone that
we are going to facilitate the best possible long term care of your oral health and longevity.

I will pick up the phone and be there for you when a dental emergency happens. I will put in
whatever amount of work is necessary to help you reach and maintain your dental health goals
because you as a human deserve that. Myself and my team care about you and we want you to
know that.

I began my dental career over 20 years ago as a registered dental assistant working in oral
surgery and periodontal.

In 2012 I graduated from DMACC’s dental hygiene program and enjoy educating and encouraging my patients through their dental journey. My favorite part of being a dental hygienist is providing patients the experience of good dental care and the feeling of a great smile.

I love getting to know my patients and building long term relationships. I also attended Kirkwood Community College and received her associates of applied science degree in 2001. While attending Kirkwood Community college I played softball for 2 years.

In my off time I enjoy watching my kids play sports, watching movies, traveling and spending time with friends and family. My husband Joe, my 2 sons, 2 step daughters and I reside on an acreage outside of Maxwell.

I began my dental career in 2022 as a dental assistant. Since then, I have completed specialty
training to obtain my level 1 expanded functions certification. I have a particular interest in oral
surgery and aesthetics. My future plan is to become a registered dental hygienist through the
DMACC program.

I grew up in Ankeny with my older brother and twin sister. In my free time, I enjoy spending time
with my family and traveling to new places. I also love to cheer on the Cyclones at Jack Trice &
Hilton.

I began my dental career 25 years ago as a Dental Front Office Manager for an Orthodontic
office. My current role is patient financial and scheduling coordinator.

The best reward about my job is establishing relationships with patients and seeing their beautiful smiles when they leave the office.

I enjoy working with our Ames team every day and the memories we make.

Outside the office, I love spending time with loved ones and relaxing at home.
