MEET OUR TEAM

Michelle became a dental hygienist six years ago, after leaving her first career as an Interior Designer.  She moved to Tucson a year ago from the Hawaiian islands, but has lived all over the United States.  She keeps busy with all her hobbies, along with family and friends. She enjoys all aspects of being a dental hygienist, and is passionate about getting to know and educate each person in her chair.

My passion for providing care started in the nursing field.  I ultimately followed my heart and graduated in dental hygiene in 2012.  I always knew I wanted to be a hygienist as a child, practicing on my baby sister.  I love making our patients’ experience more enjoyable while providing a comfortable environment and gentle touch.  I have two beautiful children, a loving husband, and many family members and friends whom I enjoy spending my free time with.

I have been in the dental field since 1990. I’m blessed to be part of the team today. I enjoy making patients feel comfortable the minute I bring them back to the exam room.

My hobbies: I love to listen to local bands, going to concerts, singing karaoke and dancing, and of course, eating out. 🙂

After over a decade working in Special Education, I became a dental hygienist through Pima. Though originally from Southern California, I’ve spent most of my life in east Tucson and am a proud Sabino High and UofA grad. I love connecting with patients and helping them feel confident about their smiles! I stay busy with my three daughters, baking, playing games, and squeezing in family trips whenever we can.

I entered the dental field with a simple mission: to help others, one smile at a time. Understanding that many people feel anxious about visiting the dentist, I strive to create a welcoming and comfortable environment that changes that perception. With over a decade of experience, starting as a dental assistant and now serving as Operations Manager, I take pride in ensuring our office runs smoothly so that our patients receive the best care possible.

Originally from a small town in Alabama, I bring Southern hospitality into every patient interaction. Beyond the office, I’m a proud mom of two and an avid animal lover. My home is filled with the joy of my four furry companions: Teddy, Daisy Mae, Tupac, and Biggie. Whether it’s coordinating a busy day at the office or spending time with my family and pets, I believe in bringing warmth, organization, and heart to everything I do.
