I've been practicing dental hygiene for 11 years and Ilove it. I moved around for a bit after high school, but come back home to Gulfport, MS to be close to my Mississippi friends and family. Igraduated from USM in 2006 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. In 2009, I received my Associate's of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene from Meridian Community College.
I take pride in connecting with my patients, and doing my best to make them comfortable while providing excellent care. When I'm not doing dental hygiene, Ikeep pretty busy with my wonderful husband and children.
In 2013 I graduated from Pearl River Community College, earning a degree in Dental Hygiene. I am proud to say I was awarded the 'Patient Education' award at my pinning ceremony and still love connecting with my patients to ensure they understand and trust the care I provide and are comfortable throughout the process.
