A: “Sure! I was born and raised in Springfield, Oregon. I went to college in Eugene, Oregon (Go Ducks!) and moved to Huntington Beach, CA after I graduated. I lived there for 3 years and that’s where I met my boyfriend, who is from Anderson. We moved to Las Vegas and stayed there for a year. We just moved to Liberty this March and I am loving living in the south.”

2. Q: How/When did you decide that you wanted to work in dentistry?

A: “I decided when I was 16 that I wanted to be a dental hygienist. I was talking to my friends mom who is a hygienist about what I “wanted to be when I grew up” and she suggested a hygienist. I enjoy working with people and didn’t want to be behind a desk so thought health care was a great option; I’m so happy I stuck with her suggestion!”

3. Q: How long have you been a part of the Keowee Smiles team? What do you love most about working at Keowee Smiles?

A: “I have been with Keowee Smiles since March! I was lucky that they were hiring the same time I moved here. What I love most is the excellent work that all the doctors provide. I have worked places that I wouldn’t let the doctor touch my mouth and here I feel happy and confident to refer my friends and family.”

4. Q: What do you enjoy doing when you aren’t working?

A: When I’m not working I enjoy being outdoors. I like to go to the river/lake, hiking, work out, ride horses, garden, explore new places; really almost anything!”

5. Q: What would you say to a prospective patient about why they should choose Keowee Smiles for their dental health?

A: “I would tell them that our office has a high standard of providing great dental care. We are a group of genuine people who love what we do and that shows and reflects in all our patients.”
