I completed my pre-requisite classes at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. I then graduated from UAMS with my Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene. I have been at Jolly Family Dental since May 2023. When I am not at work you can either find me at a country concert or playing with my mini Australian Shepherd Dolly.
I’m from Cabot and I attended Arkansas State for my bachelors. I continued my education at UAMS where I received my Dental Hygiene degree. You can find me reading a god book or at the gym working out. I love to cook and go for walks with my senior dog, Baby Girl. I recently joined Jolly Family Dental in July of 2024. My favorite thing about JFD is the patients! I love creating relationships and making them feel confident about their smiles.
I have been a seasoned registered dental hygienist here at Jolly Family Dental since 2015. I am committed to delivering exceptional care and advocate for excellent gentle care for all my patients. I graduated from UAMS in 2014 with a B.S. in Dental Hygiene including: Local Anesthesia, Nitrous Oxide, CPR, and the Diode SIROLaser. When not at work, I enjoy quality time with my loved ones, traveling with my husband, experiencing new cultures/cuisines, and studying foreign languages.
For the last 16 years I have worked at JFD as a dental assistant. I love how we have created a safe environment for employees and patients here at Jolly Family Dental. My husband and I have been married for 13yrs. We have a 7-year-old Great Dane named Kaia and a 3-year-old rescue named Gunner. Home is where our heart is, we love spending time with our families or tackling our next home project. I love creating art and planting, I also enjoy interior and exterior design.
I’ve been a registered dental assistant at Jolly Family Dental since 2021, bringing passion and care to each patient’s smile. Born and raised in Arkansas, I have a love for adventure, from exploring new places to making memories with family and friends.
I'm one of the newer additions to the Jolly Family Dental Practice, but in just these short few months I know I've found my home! I've been in the dental field for 28 years, 25 as a dental assistant and the past 3 as an admin in front office positions. I love the dental field and helping others! I am 48 yrs old, have 4 kids and 8 grandchildren. My hobby is my family! We love to spend time in the pool, having bbqs, mud riding, and deer hunting! Most anything as long as it’s together! In all my years in the dental field I've never experienced a work environment like at Jolly Family Dental provides. From the owners to the employees, everyone has patient priority first and foremost. It's the most caring, employee appreciating, and patient oriented organization I could ever dream of being a part of!
I have worked 4 years in the dental office as a front team member. I am married to my husband John with whom we share 9 adult children, 14 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. I enjoy bird watching and growing plants/flowers but mostly going from the East to the West coast keeping up with my family. I spend my free time reading books and watching videos pertaining to ancient archaeology through the 20th century; how it reflects historical geographical political and religious current events. I enjoy experimenting with new recipes as well as a bit of community outreach. I love working for JFD because of its shared committed and kind ownership who allows a person to grow, learn, and flourish within the dental field. JFD has a welcoming, devoted and nourishing staff. Lastly, I love the generations of families that put their trust and confidence in all of us that here at JFD to serve them with the upmost respect and gratitude, it makes me smile.
I have been part of Jolly Family Dental for 3 years. After assisting for 12 years, I have decided to use my dental knowledge as clinical coordinator. Outside of the dental world, I spend my spare time with my husband, Ryan, and my 4-year-old daughter, Finley. We love going to any razorback events, traveling to new places, and visiting my family in Louisiana. One of the best things about Jolly Family Dental, is that all the staff truly care about their patients and the importance of having a healthy mouth.
I started with JFD in 2021 as a front team member. I started out just doing insurance verifications but became the Insurance Coordinator. I work closely with insurances to ensure our patients' claims get processed and paid. I also process the patient billing for our office. Now I work alongside our office manager as the office administrator assistant.
Outside of work I enjoy doing arts and crafts, enjoy spending time with family, and growing my personal business in backdrop party rentals! I love to travel when given the chance.
I love working at JFD because they are very understanding and willing to do what they can to help their employees. I am very thankful for what they have done for my family! We are a great team that works great with one another. We work together to ensure that our JFD patients are well taken care of from the moment they enter the door to the time they leave.
I am a Fort Smith, Arkansas native. I have been a part of the Jolly Family team for a couple months. I am a member of the front team helping greeting our patients. I enjoy community involvement with my church, local art events, cat shows, museums, trying new foods and exploring our beautiful state. I am passionate about supporting local businesses, growers, artists etc. Keeping our community happy, healthy and thriving is my dream. My life goal is to serve others and spread joy and, "do the right thing!"
