I am a Wisconsin native and earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from Marquette University. After graduation, I enlisted in the Army and served on active duty at Ft. Hood’s Darnall Army Community Hospital. I completed my enlistment in 1987, moved to Denver, and spent 18 years as a periodontal hygienist for a dental practice in southeast Denver. In May 2007, I joined Geriatric Dental Hygiene Services. I enjoy the change of pace working in a non-traditional setting and treating patients in their homes. My work with the elderly is challenging and rewarding, but most of all, fulfilling. When not working, I enjoy cycling, camping, hiking, and spending time with friends.
