Meet The Team

I have been in the Dental field for 35 years as a Registered Dental Assistant. I joined Cedar Rapids Family Dental Center - Abraham Family Dental November of 2022 as the Practice Manager.

I extremely enjoy my manager responsibilities while overseeing daily activities and making sure the office runs smoothly and the patient care is 100%!
I am very blessed with the Drs and team that I work with daily. They are more like family to me than co-workers.
Outside of work I love spending time with my husband Dave, grown son Nolan, our two dogs Nattie and Lilly cat Olivey and my two favorite grand dogs Motley and Crue. We love to go out to eat, cheer for our favorite team the Kansas City Chiefs, go for drives to explore Iowa and travel to warm places to vacation. 

Give us a call we would love to treat you to the BEST dental care in Cedar Rapids.

People are my passion! Well, that and books, wine and travel. My four children and their spouses along with eight grandchildren under nine years old keep me smiling and busy. I have spent twenty years in the dental field and I consider my co-workers family as we have worked together for the majority of those twenty years.

I joined the CRFDC team in 2023. Prior to that I worked for another dental practice
for 18 years. I enjoy greeting and talking to all of our patients. My goal is to
provide excellent customer service and to exceed our patients expectations. I
currently reside in CR with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter and adorable
Shih Tzu named Lizzy. In my free time I love spending time with family and friends,
traveling and shopping.

I graduated with my Dental Hygiene Degree from Kirkwood in 2016 and began working in Cedar Rapids right after graduation where I stayed for 5 years before moving to Colorado. There I continued working as a dental hygienist where I continued to expand my dental knowledge and learning the newest advances. I recently moved back to the area to be closer to my family. 

I love learning all areas of dentistry to provide the most complete treatment possible. 

In my spare time I love to travel to the mountains, hike, attend sporting events and spend time with my dog Denver.

I love providing patients a comprehensive experience of education and care which is a passion of mine.

I enjoy spending time outdoors on walks, and ending the night with either a movie or good book

Give me your most beloved cooking and baking recipes! Baking is my favorite, I should say the eating of the desserts is the best part :)

I was recently married in 2023, and we still need a honeymoon location–I am open to all vacationing location recommendations!

I have loved being part of the CRFDC team for 6 months now. I was raised in Cedar Rapids, IA, and graduated with my bachelors degree in Public Health from UNI in 2020 and from Kirkwood Community College with my Dental Hygiene license in 2023. 

Outside of hygiene, I love spending time with my boyfriend Carter and our puppy Riggs, reading, traveling, and visiting with family and friends. 

I have spent time in Haiti and Guatemala for service missions over the past few years, and strive to make a difference in underserved communities around the world. Oral health is an essential part of our systemic health, and here at CRFDC we aim to treat each patient as a whole! 

I began my dental career 28 years ago assisting with hygiene and general dentistry. My passion for patient care and attention to detail has led me to be a vital role with the Cedar Rapids Family Dental my entire career. My knowledge and tenure allows me to make patients feel at ease and comfortable, while building trust and confidence in their treatment procedures. I am  dedicated to the patients and the practice. In my spare time, I can be found with my husband or at a baseball diamond watching  my only child & son play the game he loves. We love to travel, especially when we can take our dog Molly.  

I graduated from Kirkwood Community College August of 2023 as a Registered Dental Assistant. Most of the time you will find me assisting chairside with Dr. Abraham. I love getting to meet new people and work with patients to ensure they are always comfortable and informed with the procedure happening! 

During my free time you would find me either reading a good book, binge watching a tv show, or hanging out with my family & friends! 

Here at Cedar Rapids Family Dental Center you will find advanced technology, brilliant dentists, and a staff that strives to make sure you leave with an overall great experience!

I have 2 years of experience as a Registered Dental Assistant and am an Iowa native! 

I enjoy being able to help the patients feel confident in their own smile. I am passionate about my work and genuinely I enjoy being a part of the Cedar Rapids Family Dental Center team! 

When I am not at the office, I enjoy traveling, getting out in nature, and tailgating with family and friends for the Hawkeyes during football season!

I have been a Registered Dental Assistant for 40 years and have spent 24 at Abraham Family Dentistry and reside in Van Horne.

I enjoy my work as a Dental Assistant and getting to know my patients! 

I love spending time with my family...Mark, my 3 children and their spouses, and my 3 adorable granddaughters. 

I also enjoy bicycle riding, going for walks, hiking, reading.
