Insurance & Financial Coordinator
I have a long family history in Alaska and for 38 years have made Alaska my home.
After many years in Fairbanks, Anchorage is where I currently reside. My husband Mark and I share our love of Alaska’s diverse summer and winter outdoor adventures along with our two adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Raven and Penny.
After a 25 year career in the aviation industry, downsizing brought me the challenge and opportunity to discover a whole new field; dentistry. I received my dental assisting certification in 2009 and immediately went to work in both the clinical and administrative sides of dental. I soon found my preferred focus to be dental insurance and patient accounts. My goal is to have every patient receive their maximum insurance reimbursement possible and to help explain any balance due. I am rewarded daily by helping patients both understand and being their advocate for their insurance benefits.

My 22 years of experience as an Office Manager in the medical & dental fields has allowed me to grow professionally as well as personally, The dental practices I have been blessed to be a part of have taught me about culture and strong communication skills. Leading with compassion and understanding, my goal is to take care of patient’s concerns about finances while allowing them to move forward with their dental health.

Raised in Interior, Alaska, my husband and I settled in Anchorage in 2001. We enjoy exploring the beauty of the AK mountains and the sea with our daughter, Kori, and our incorrigible Chocolate Lab, Bella.
At the age of 19, I was given the opportunity to learn dental assisting on-the-job. It was love at first procedure! I worked clinically for the next 10 years while also learning the administrative side of dentistry. The next 6 years were spent managing a large dental practice; and I love it all!
My clinical background as well as my experience in the business of dentistry create a unique ability for working with patients and teams; creating successful results for all.
