Natives of New Jersey, my husband, and I moved to Spotsylvania in 2021. The family was why we moved here, but the bonus is that Spotsylvania is such a nice place to live. It feels like home. I have over 40 years of experience in the dental field. 4 years as a dental assistant and 37 years as a dental hygienist. After all these years, I still love being a dental hygienist. Knowing the dentist is not most people’s favorite place, I try to make each visit as pleasant as possible. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and dogs and babysitting my grandson.
