I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist for over 35 years and I have been with The Dental Spa at Dr. Propes’ office for the last 12.  I have worked in general as well as specialty practice.  What I like best about being a hygienist is meeting new people and getting to know them.  I take pride in my ability to help patients achieve their dental goals. I enjoy volunteering my time to give back to the community I have lived in for over 40 years.  In my spare time I work with Atwater High School’s music department helping with uniforms and giving what time I can to support the students at community events.  I am married and we have lived in the area since we graduated high school.  I have two grandsons who are a blast to be with and I think I learn more from them than they do from me!
