I am a practicing dental hygienist with over 15 years of clinical experience and a strong passion for public health. I taught in the St. Petersburg College Dental Hygiene Program for five years and have also worked as a mobile dental hygienist, providing care to individuals in community-based settings.

Teaching is something I truly enjoy, and I am passionate about helping students grow in their knowledge, confidence, and professional development. Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time outdoors, and cheering on my daughter as she stays busy with her sports-filled schedule.
