VISTA RIDGE DENTAL ARTS STUDIO - Key Persons

Bio I grew up in Gate City where I met my wonderful husband, Terry. I continued my education at ETSU (go Bucs) after graduation where I completed my AAS in Dental Hygiene. After a relocation to the Richmond, VA area with my husband's military career, I went on to complete my BS, also in Dental Hygiene, prior to being accepted into Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Dentistry. While at VCU, I thrived on empathetic and compassionate patient care, particularly in the area of Prosthodontics of which I was the recipient of the Excellence in Prosthodontics Award my senior year. I also participated in student teaching all four years of my dental education, sharing my hygiene experience and knowledge with fellow dental students. Terry and I have been married for 33 years and have raised 3 beautiful children, Kirkland (26) as well as Kayleigh (29) and Morgan (30) who both share my love of dentistry. I enjoy reading, knitting and all water sports in my down time. I LOVE music, especially country, and you're surely to hear me ‘singing' along during your visits, to which I apologize for in advance ?! Additionally, the family and I enjoy volunteering at local RAM and MOM projects.
