Meet the Team in Birmingham, Alabama

I’ve been truly blessed to work in dentistry for the past 30 years, including 28 joyful years as a pediatric dental hygienist. It’s a calling that still warms my heart every single day—especially because I genuinely love caring for my parents and watching them grow. Building those trusting, special relationships with children and their families is one of the greatest rewards of this work. I am a happily married mom to three wonderful children—a son and twin daughters— who fill my life with endless love and laughter. In my free me, I love curling up with a good book, dreaming about future travels, soaking up the energy of live concerts, playing cards with family and friends, or getting lost in captivating true crime stories and podcasts. These simple joys keep me grounded and happy. I’m also so grateful for the amazing relationships I share with my coworkers at OMPD— they truly feel like family, and their kindness and support make every day brighter.
