ABOUT

Nice to meet you

Who am I? That is always a tough question, but here it goes.

I am a wife, mom, athlete, adventure seeker, animal lover, and passionate leader in the world of dentistry. For over 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with and leading high-performing dental teams across multiple states. Today, I serve as the Practice Administrator for a thriving multi-doctor, dual-specialty practice. These experiences have shaped not only my skills but also my belief in what true leadership looks like.

After high school I attended college at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. Then almost fifteen years ago, after many life changes, I began my journey into dentistry at Savannah Technical College. There I earned the title of Expanded Function Certified Dental Assistant (EFDA, CDA). While attending school, I was honored as Student of the Year, became a state finalist for the Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership, was named a 2012 Tribute to Community STAR, and proudly graduated on the Dean’s List with a 4.0 GPA. Eary on I was cross trained in the front office and business side of dentistry--opening the door to leadership opportunities and management roles I quickly embraced.

I'm here to elevate your organization.

Beyond the credentials, my life journey has not been easy. It’s been shaped by trauma, challenges and hardships that taught me a powerful truth: we are capable of far more than we think. In times that felt hopeless I discovered strength I didn’t know existed. When we are pushed outside our comfort zone, we learn that we can achieve extraordinary things when we dare to try.

You must also find your balance—the place where you find peace and the space where you challenge yourself. For me, the ocean is my sanctuary. It’s the one place I can truly relax and feel calm(I am also obsessed with whales, lol). I’ve always found symbolism in standing at the shore, looking across a surface of endless water while knowing an entire world is moving and alive beneath it. To me, it’s a reflection of who we are as people: so much happens beneath the surface that others may never see.

That same belief drives me to seek growth through challenge. I’ve faced my fears head-on, hiking Angels Landing and completing a full Ironman—two experiences that taught me just how powerful the human spirit can be. And I’m already planning my next adventure, stay tuned!!

That philosophy guides how I lead and live. In business, I believe in giving people opportunities and every tool to succeed—because when you hire someone, you’re hiring more than a qualification, you’re investing in a person. I am people-centric, lead by example, and believe growth comes from both learning and leaning into discomfort.

For me, life is about living fully, leading with purpose, and helping others discover their potential to rise beyond what they thought possible.
