For the last 15 years I have worked as a Registered Dental Hygienist, licensed in Oregon and Idaho. I am a local girl, born in Boise, and raised in Ontario. I began my secondary education at TVCC and then transferred to the University of Idaho where I completed my Bachelors of Science in Biology. After working as an oral surgery assistant, I studied dental hygiene at American Institute of Health Technologies. I have been with High Desert Dental for the last seven years where I specialize in non-surgical periodontal procedures. I enjoy helping people achieve dental heath and preventing disease. My favorite part of the job is the personal relationships I have with my patients and other staff members. My personal hobbies include gardening, reading, paddle-boarding, traveling, just about any adventure outdoors and chasing my three daughters in their own interests.
"We brush and floss because germs eat, sleep, and poop in our mouth."
I graduated from Oregon Health Sciences University in 1998. I've been working as a hygienist for 22 years and have been with Dr. Tipton for 16 of those. My favorite part of the job is patient care. I enjoy assisting our patients in bettering their oral health. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends and crafting.
