About
A Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice (RDHAP) is a licensed registered dental hygienist with specialized training that holds a specific license to allow him or her to practice in settings outside of the traditional dental office. These alternative settings may include schools, skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, private homes, or their own RDHAP offices.
​
Our mission is to provide dental care to populations that have limited access or barriers to traditional dental settings. We strive to make a positive and lasting change in the lives of our patients.

I started as a Registered Dental Assistant in 2008 and then went on to graduate from Carrington College Dental Hygiene Program in 2012. I furthered pursued my education and completed the post graduate RDHAP program through University of the Pacific and received my RDHAP license through the state of California.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband, children and dogs. We love adventure and have a passion for the great outdoors.
