Cherish

Dental Hygienist

My journey in dentistry began over 28 years ago as a dental assistant, after completing the Expanded Dental Assisting program at IUPUI. From the very beginning, I knew I had found my passion — but I also knew I wanted to do more. That passion led me to pursue dental hygiene, and I graduated from the Dental Hygiene program at Ivy Tech in Anderson 13 years ago.

I first started filling in at this office in 2012, and by 2013, I was officially hired full-time. From my very first day, I knew this was the place I was meant to be. The supportive team, caring environment, and wonderful patients made it feel like home — it truly is the office I had been looking for.

Outside of work, my husband and I stay busy with our two daughters, Hattie (7) and Adeline (4), and our beloved rescue dog, Sadie, who’s been part of our family for 14 years. I enjoy hiking, riding my bike, and most of all, spending quality time with my family.

I’m so grateful to be part of a dental team that values both professional excellence and personal connection. I look forward to continuing to care for our patients and building lasting relationships for years to come.
