Why dentistry? I learned many years ago, dentistry extends beyond the dental chair. Educating patients on good oral habits to promote whole-body health goes far beyond patients just sitting in the dental chair. I truly enjoy working in dentistry, it’s such a rewarding career knowing that I am able to make a difference.

Hobbies: I enjoy shopping, traveling, reading new books, and spending time with my family.

Rachel is a native to the Northern Virginia area and has worked in the dental field for 13 years.

Hobbies: I enjoy golfing, reading, traveling, kayaking, painting, cooking, and spending time with my husband and chihuahua.

Certifications:

• Basic Life Support (CPR/AED and First Aid)
• X-Ray Certified

Why dentistry? When I was a child, my mother was a dental office manager. During a “Take Your Daughter to Work Day,” one of the dental hygienists took me under her wing and introduced me to the world of dentistry. I have known since then that I would work in this field. In high school, I took dental assisting classes, and upon high school graduation, I started working towards my dental hygiene license. I love to help my patients feel great about their smiles and ease their nerves!

Hobbies: I enjoy cooking, reading, and taking care of my two children.
