My love of teeth started in seventh grade, and I aspired to follow my dream to become a dental hygienist. Helping people with their smiles and their overall health is a great beneift of being a dental hygienist. I enjoy teaching children of all ages how to take care of their teeth. I am married and a mother of three. I enjoy church, family time, crafting, and traveling; however, the beach is my favorite place. I have been employed with this practice since 1993. In the years I have worked at Tift Regional Dental Group, my patients are not just my patients and my coworkers are not just my coworkers - they are my family.

It is my pleasure to provide both preventive and periodontal care to our patients. I enjoy the time that I get to spend with each patient and the relationships that we’ve developed over the years. I enjoy working with our doctors because they are fun to be around. At the same time, they are very professional and care about their patients.
I have two children, Austin and Anna. In my free time I enjoy reading, watching my children play sports, and going to the beach.

I not only like educating patients and changing their dental knowledge, but also learning about their personal lives. My favorite part of my job is the personal interaction with my patients- finding out about their background, family, job, and interests. I enjoy seeing them year after year, and it is especially enjoyable to watch all the children grow up!
My husband’s name is Ken and we have four sons, Matthew, Chandler, Colby, and Cameron. I spend most of my time with my family and keeping up with our sons.

I take care of my patient’s oral health through regular cleanings and checkups and provide education on how to maintain a great, healthy smile. It is amazing to see the physical and emotional changes our patients go through when they achieve optimal dental health. Seeing them smile is all the reward I need!
My spouse Jamie and I have two children, Drake and Brylie. I attend Antioch Baptist Church, love spending time with family, and love to travel. The beach and cruises are personal favorites!

My patients’ oral health is my primary concern. I talk with my patients to make sure I answer any questions they have. I also make sure my patients are comfortable, whether they need a pillow or blanket or nitrous to stay comfortable. I want them to have a wonderful experience here with us. We all work as a team to ensure our patients are being taken care of.
My husband’s name is Nathan and we have two children, Jordan and Owen, and four dogs. I like to spend my time away from work with my family. We love to go to our family’s lake house.

As a dental hygienist, I like knowing that I contribute to a person's overall health in a positive way by doing everything I can to ensure their best oral health. I do this not only through routine professional cleanings, but also by educating each person individually based on their dental needs. My main concerns are that my patients are comfortable and they have a positive, pain-free experience. I love working at Tift Regional Dental Group because all our doctors and clinical team provide great quality care. Everyone here shares one main concern...the patient!
My husband and I have a precious daughter. We enjoy spending time with our family and love the outdoors.

As a dental hygienist for ten years, I have built relationships with my patients that make them more like family. I enjoy getting to know patients and visiting with them and in and outside of the office. I also enjoy the challenge of getting patients comfortable and calming their anxiety when they dread coming to the dentist for visits.
I enjoy spending time with my husband and beautiful children, going to the gym, working in my yard, and traveling whenever I can.

My favorite part of being a dental hygienist is patient education and changing people's lives by changing their mindset on oral and overall health. In my career, I enjoy my role in creating beautiful smiles, dental health, and disease detection and prevention. I've been a dental hygienist since 2002 and a part of the TRDG family/team since 2021.
I love forming strong relationships with my patients, learning about their families, work, and interests that I like to discuss with my patients, my favorite being my love of my horses and competing with horses. I also enjoy reading and I like talking with my patients who like to read about good books.
My husband Rob and I have been married since 2002 and we have 4 legged children consisting of cats and horses. We travel a lot to different horse shows on the weekend.
I look forward to meeting you and caring for you and your family's dental health.
