Meet the Dental Assistants

I am a 1996 Mt. Zion High School graduate. I attended Lakeland Community College where I played basketball and softball. I have been a dental assistant since 2001. I received a dental assisting certificate in 2002 from Excel Training Systems, School of Dental Assisting. In 2004, I started working at Decatur Dental Care and married my wonderful husband. We have 3 children; Dylan, Macie and Maxwell. My kids are my world. I can truly say that I love coming to work every day. I enjoy working with patients and love to make them smile. I enjoy spending time with my kids and family. We love sports! So, if we are not home, you can find us at a sporting event. We also like to go boating and swimming when we have time. God Bless.

I am from Decatur. I graduated from MacArthur High School in 2003. I then attended Kaplin College in Indianapolis, IN where I graduated in 2005 as a Dental Assistant. I have been with our office since 2011. I love working here and am very proud to say I work at Decatur Dental Care. We work in a very fun atmosphere with a great staff. Our doctors care a lot about our patients. I love being able to help patients, make them feel more comfortable about coming to the dentist, and help provide them with a healthy smile. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I grew up in Saint Joseph, IL.  I graduated from high school in 2020 and ran track all 4 years.  I am excited to educate and help my patients here at Decatur Dental Care.  I love seeing new smiles everyday and helping create new ones!  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with animals and exploring the world with friends and family.

I graduated from Warrensburg High School. I enjoy weight lifting, going to concerts and fostering kittens.  I am the self-proclaimed best comedian in the office, though Dr Clark is a close second.  I've been a patient at Decatur Dental Care since I was very young and it's been my dream to work here ever since.  A lot of patients have had a history of negative experiences when going to the dentist and I love turning their dental appointment into a positive and fun experience that patients of every age can enjoy instead of fear.  I'm very excited to have the privilege to work with you!

I am from Chihuahua, Mexico and have lived in Decatur for 18 years.  I attended Richland Community College, where I got a certification as an English/Spanish Medical Interpreter.  Since then, I knew that I wanted to be involved in the health field with dental assisting as my goal.  I started my career as a Dental Assistant at Decatur Dental Care in 2023.  I love helping my patients and watching them smile.
