I was born and raised in Holland, Michigan, and I joined the Little Red team in June 2026 after graduating from dental hygiene school. I’m excited to begin my career as a dental hygienist in such a supportive and welcoming environment.

Outside of work, I love spending time at the beach or on the water, visiting my family’s farm, and trying new restaurants. My family and I live on a farm in West Olive with lots of cows, chickens, rabbits, cats, and dogs—there’s never a dull moment!

A fun fact about me is that before becoming a dental hygienist, I spent six years as the lead teacher for the YMCA program at Lakeshore Elementary. Working with children has always been a meaningful part of my life, so getting to continue that in pediatric dentistry feels like a perfect fit.

What I love most about Little Red is my incredibly supportive team and the opportunity to watch our patients grow in confidence. It’s so rewarding to see the progress each child makes from one visit to the next and to be part of helping them build healthy, happy smiles.
