Practicing dental hygiene in Tucson since 1995, I am focused on treating my patients with compassion, respect, and kindness. I received my Associate of Applied Sciences degree in Dental Hygiene from Pima Community College. I make it a priority to attend numerous continuing education courses in all fields of dentistry to stay current on industry happenings. I’m a member of the Arizona Dental Association and continue to love caring for my long-term patients and new patients alike.

I’m married – my wife is a practicing dental hygienist, as well – and have two amazing children. In my free time, I enjoy family, exercise, sports (especially U of A), and numerous outdoor activities.

With a passion for helping and educating people, I earned three degrees in my quest to determine what I wanted to do for a living. I found dental hygiene to be the best way for me to care for people for the past 21 years.

When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking our Arizona trails with my son, spending time in the White Mountains, and being with family. I’m also an avid reader.

I’m a native Arizonan and grew up here in Northwest Tucson. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's degree in merchandising before returning to school for dental hygiene at Puma Community College. I began working with Dr. Dan Hornsby in 1998 and have extensive experience in general and cosmetic dentistry. I’ve also worked in a periodontal practice specializing in treating gum disease and implant care. I genuinely enjoy my coworkers and patients and am devoted to helping each person in my care achieve optimal oral health and a great smile.

I’ve been married to my husband, Matthew, for over 20 years. We have two amazing boys – Nathan and Kellan – who are my absolute pride and joy. I love traveling, camping, hiking, photography, Bible study, and spending time with my family in my free time.
