I joined Dr. Bander’s team as an assistant in July 2009.  I graduated with a degree in dental assisting from the Grand Rapids Educational Center in 1998 and continued my education to become a Certified Dental Assistant. I have been in the dental field for the past 13 years.  In that time, I have enjoyed getting to know many great patients.  It is my goal to educate people of the importance of dental health.  I want to share the many treatment options available; giving them the ability to smile with confidence.  My husband and I have been married since 2003 and have a son.  I enjoy spending time with family, hunting, going to the beach and reading.
