Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest and earned my Bachelors in Political Science with an emphasis in Public Policy at the University of Washington, I’ve long been aware of the need to build a more accessible society for those who are sick or disabled. By the time I graduated from Lake Washington Institute with my Dental Hygiene Degree and began my career in 2002, I’d begun to see firsthand the impact that lack of access to dental care can have, both on individuals and within communities. That has motivated me to engage in community outreach, focusing on underserved populations.

Around 2017, a best friend from my childhood became bedbound with cancer. Faced with the reality that many others in our community are in similar circumstances and unable to access needed care, I realized I’d found what I was meant to do. By the time I started my Mobile Dentistry in January 2018, my friend had passed away.

I have since dedicated my career to providing dental care to those who cannot leave their homes. This work is incredibly rewarding to me, as it is a much needed service that can have a real impact on a person’s quality of life.
