A Lifetime of Smiles

I graduated from the dental assisting program at IVCC in 1993. I have been with a Lifetime of Smiles since 1999. I enjoy chairside assisting in the office and making all the patients feel at ease when they are here for a lifetime of smiles. I reside in Utica with my husband Jim, and our vizsla Nellie. Outside the office you will find me spending time with family and friends. I prefer to be outdoors whenever possible, fishing, walking, or just relaxing.

I have worked with Dr. Ed for 6 1/2 years. My position here is Administrative Assistant/Financial Coordinator. The Team I work with daily are the best. We laugh and actually like each other which doesn't happen very often in the work place. I have a great support system outside of the office. Friends and Family are what is most important to me. I am the grandmother of three- Grayson, Olivia and Camden, and of course they are my greatest joy in life.

I have worked at a Lifetime of Smiles since June of this year as an Administrative Assistant. I have a BS in Nutrition and will graduate with my Masters degree in Healthcare Management in February 2015. I have a 4 year old son, Brady, and a 5 year old furry baby, Mylo. My son and I enjoy playing outside, reading books, crafting, and going on adventures. We truly have a wonderful team here and we are passionate about treating our patients with the best possible care.

I have been employed with Dr. Ed for over 2 years as a Registered Dental Hygienist. I recently became engaged to my High School Sweetheart Marty. We are currently planning our wedding for October 2015. We have two babies at home, our puppy Rusty and our Cat Ernie whom we love very much!

Some of my favorite things to do are hiking, fishing and deer ...Read Morehunting. Read Less
