I am originally from Massachusetts and permanently relocated here in 1982.  I started my Assisting career working in a busy lakes region oral surgery office.   This is where I understood that being a dental assistant is more than just handing a dentist an instrument.  It is about compassion, understanding and listening.   It was the love of this job that made me make it my lifetime career.  I graduated from NHTI in 1985, and have been practicing ever since.  Working with this team had been my dream job since temping with them years ago.  I joined the Circle team in 2013, where I continue to enjoy every day of work.  I spend all my free time with my 4 grandchildren and foster children.  We enjoy all that the lakes region has to offer, especially in the summer time.
