To The Root

I was raised on the west coast of Canada, Vancouver Island and graduated with a 3-year Dental Hygiene Diploma that includes a local anesthetic certification from Vancouver Island University in 2013. Immediately after completing my education, I relocated to Grande Prairie.

I always knew I wanted to work independently. In my dental hygiene program at VIU, we were taught about the different areas a hygienist could work in. In 2017, my dad wasn’t well. I wasn’t able to get him to get his teeth cleaned prior to his passing even though he really wanted it done. I was back and forth between Vancouver Island and Grande Prairie, so it was difficult with all his other medical appointments and my job in a different province.

I decided then that I couldn’t be the only person who wasn’t able to do that, and my journey began in building my dental hygiene practice in Grande Prairie in April 2018. Fast forward to Feb 2019 I opened my mobile service, and then in November 2019, my storefront clinic located in Grande Prairie was ready to go. Sometimes the universe puts everything in place for you, and you just have to follow through.
