Meet The Team
I love talking with and getting to know our patients on a personal level. It’s a great feeling to help people I care about develop healthy, happy smiles. I started in the dental field in 2000 and joined Janzen Dental in 2014. We have an amazing practice, where everyone wants our patients to enjoy their visits. I clean teeth, take X-rays, assist the doctors with exams, and answer patient questions, too.
I feel blessed to have a full, happy life. I’m recently married and have two children, James and Britney, and their wonderful spouses, Ashley and Frank, in my life. I am active in my church and also enjoy time in the mountains, along with reading and being with loved ones.
I love helping our patient achieve their strongest oral health and a clean, bright smile they love. I graduated from Fresno City College in 1998 and joined Janzen Dental in 2000. We have an amazing team and doctors who really care about our patients’ well-being. I take X-rays, scale and clean teeth, and encourage patients to care about their dental health.
When I’m not working, I enjoy walking, hiking, and traveling. I especially love to visit Hawaii with my spouse of more than 20 years.
I really enjoy getting to know our patients personally and look forward to seeing each at recall appointments. I became part of the Janzen Dental family in 2008 and am certain this is the most patient-centered practice. We’re all passionate about keeping our patients’ smiles healthy and beautiful. While providing general and periodontal maintenance care, I teach patients about their oral health. I want people to enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles!
Outside of the office, my family keeps me busy. My husband and I have young children who are always on the go. If we’re not pursuing fun at home, we’re off at the beach or camping in the mountains.
We serve great people. I love helping our community develop and keep healthy smiles and building friendships in the process. I’ve worked in the dental field since 1991 and became part of the Janzen Dental practice in 2010. Ours is a friendly, supportive office where we form lasting relationships with patients. My days are spent cleaning teeth, providing periodontal maintenance, and educating patients about good home oral hygiene care.
Outside of work, I enjoy counted cross-stitching, working the yard, and spending time at the beach. I’m married and have three adult daughters as well as a very lovable Beagle.
I love touching a patient’s life in a positive way. Not many people truly love going to the dentist, and I enjoy helping people overcome their fears by showing that today’s dentistry is gentle. After starting in the field in 1997, I joined Janzen Dental in 2015 and immediately felt at home. I handle office and laboratory work. I also offer patient care, assist the doctors with a variety of dental procedures, and support and educate our patients.
My time off is spent with my family. I’m married and have an adult son who’s in the Army, and a younger daughter who’s active in school and Girl Scouts. We enjoy quiet family weekends and traveling, camping, and hiking.
I enjoy caring for our patients: connecting with them on a personal level, and making sure each leaves the office happier and healthier. My dental career started in 2011 here at Janzen Dental. I can’t imagine a more positive, encouraging, and smile-filled office. I sterilize the treatment tools and equipment, provide chairside assistance to the doctors, and educate and support patients. I also order and stock our back-office supplies.
I enjoy working closely with patients to ensure they have positive, stress-free visits to Janzen Dental. I’ve been part of the team since 2000 and immediately knew I’d found the perfect dental office, where we help people smile! I handle scheduling, answer the phones, and coordinate everything so we run efficiently and on time.
Outside of work, I love music, cooking, live theater, and time with friends and family. I’m a proud single mom of two sons, Kevin and Darrell, and grandmother to two awesome grandsons, Christian and Adrian.
I look forward to coming to work because my days are filled with conversations with our great patients. I enjoy sharing in stories of their family and travel, and listening and supporting them if they’re stressed. Many years ago, I graduated from dental assisting training. I became part of Janzen Dental in 1996 and know that ours is the gentlest, most supportive office. Working in the front office, I handle accounting, correspondence, and insurance billing. I also answer the phone and schedule visits.
My husband Tim and I have been married for almost 50 years. We have three wonderful children and their equally wonderful spouses who’ve blessed us with ten beautiful grandchildren. Since Tim and I are empty nesters, we have three entertaining small dogs. In my free time, I love being with my family, vacationing on the Central Coast, and reading.
