Her Air Force experience has instilled in her the values of hard work, caring, respect for others, and teamwork.

She says now that she actually has them, she loves connecting with patients and sharing their wonderfully positive experience. She especially enjoys seeing the huge boost in confidence that comes with an amazing Kineret Orthodontics Smile!
