In 2020, I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies. I joined the Hill Dental team as a Business Assistant in January 2021. In my role, I’ve been able to learn, grow and help others. I feel lucky to do what I’m passionate about, every day! Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, I have grown fond of the Champaign area. It has been a pleasure getting to know our patients over the years, and I’m always looking forward to seeing familiar faces in the office. Outside of the office, I love to interact with nature. I have a large houseplant collection, I love gardening, and I’m always up for a walk around the park or nature preserve. If the sun is shining, I’m happy!
I moved to a small town in 2012 from Chicago. My husband and I have been married since 2000 and we live there with our two beautiful daughters. I have been a dental assistant in the local area since 1999. The smiles I get after each appointment and knowing that I helped someone overcome their fear or made them comfortable is what I love and why I stay in the profession. In my spare time I like to read and spend time with my family and friends.
I live in a small town in central IL. I’ve been a dental assistant since 2013 and became an expanded duty assistant in 2016. I love getting to know my patients and being able to help patients overcome their fears of the dental office and giving the best care possible. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our fur babies, traveling, and being the best aunt ever to my nieces and nephews.
I am from a small town in central Illinois. I graduated from Lakeland college with my hygiene degree in May of 2019. My favorite thing about my career is the ability to get to know my patients, educate them, and transform their smiles. If I am not chairside, you can find me antique shopping with friends, spending time with my family, and hanging out with my boyfriend and our spoiled aussiedoodle puppies named Koe and Sadie. P.S I love dad jokes, so tell me them all!
I graduated from Parkland College in May of 2019. My favorite part of being a hygienist is the relationships I build with patients. My goal is to provide gentle, thorough cleanings, and to teach patients how to maintain healthy gums & teeth. When I am not in the office, I enjoy traveling to new places, DIY home projects, photography, and spending time with friends & family.
