From the moment I got my braces off when I was 14 years old, I knew that a career in dentistry was the perfect choice for me. I remember how a beautiful smile made me feel and the confidence it brought. It is my goal to help all of my patients achieve that same confidence with a beautiful and healthy smile. I am passionate about early prevention and educating patients on the oral-systemic link and the impact oral health has on the entire body. I truly believe that a healthy smile is a healthy body. I pride myself on creating lasting, meaningful connections with each of my patients.

I am a busy mom who enjoys time with my husband Oscar and two children, Leah and William. I love spending time outdoors - my family loves walks, bike rides, and being at the lake.
I became interested in becoming a dental hygienist at a young age, when my hygienist growing up showed me the confidence and the benefits of helping others lead a healthier life. I believe by gaining a rapport with and educating patients, I can positively impact the oral health of others. I am excited to be a part of the MiBöca dental team and helping patients reach a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

My husband and I were both born and raised in western Nebraska. We have three beautiful children - Kylie, Adlee and Kayden. We enjoy camping, biking, swimming and spending time with family and friends.
I am a registered dental hygienist who has a passion for all things wellness. My favorite part of my role at MiBöca is partnering with patients to help them achieve greater oral and overall health. I have extensive experience treating periodontal disease, but am equally motivated to help patients prevent disease in the first place!

I am at home with my three little kids. I currently work at MiBoca on Saturdays and spend the rest of the week at home with my children. My family loves being outside- fishing, going on walks, swimming, and spending time with friends and family.
I joined the MiBoca team in June 2023 as a dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist. I have been highly active in the dental field since 2011 and have been practicing as a dental hygienist since 2015 with additional training in airway dentistry and orofacial myofunctional therapy through the International Association of Myofunctional Therapy, The Breathe Institute, MyoMentor and more.
I enjoy taking continuing education courses and listening to dental-related podcasts to keep up to date on the newest products and research available so I can provide the best care for patients. I am also working through training on functional dentistry to provide better care to the patients at MiBoca that are looking for answers beyond traditional medicine and dentistry can offer.

My husband and I grew up in Sioux Falls, SD but have lived in Nebraska for the last 12 years. Together they have 2 boys that keep them very busy! I enjoy reading, painting and drawing, and working on other art projects when possible.
I first became interested in the field of dentistry in 2019. That same year I received my Dental Assisting Certificate through Heartland Dental. I became interested in functional dentistry after a procedure I had that ended with complications. I strive to give my patients the best of the best service. My first position in this field was working with implants and surgical cases where I later became promoted to the Administrative Lead Assistant. I am ecstatic to be furthering my career at the "innovative" MiBöca Dentistry.
What I like most about my job is listening to the patients needs and wants, then partnering with them to create the perfect treatment plan.

I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids. We love cooking, having family game nights and going shopping.
I started my dental assisting career at MiBöca. I was lucky enough to get trained on the job and find out MiBöca is where I belong. A couple things that I love about MiBöca is the level of patient care we provide and the teamwork that exists with my coworkers. I strive to make sure every patient receives the highest level of care through their consultations, procedures and recovery.
I’ve always liked helping others and making them smile so I knew a career in the dental field would be perfect for me. It’s my goal to help all of our patients with their oral health and smiles and, thanks to the wonderful doctors and staff at MiBöca, I have been able to do just that.

Lead dental assistant + Phlebotomist
I am a current pre-dental student at Creighton University majoring in Health Administration and Policy with minors in Biology and Business Administration. I first started at MiBöca as an administrative intern in the Fall of 2022. Considering the administrative side of dentistry is not taught in dental school, this was an incredible opportunity that allowed me to expand my professional development. MiBöca stands for everything that I believe in, so I was ecstatic when I was asked to join the team.
As a current sterilization technician, I now get to practice on the clinical side. As a life-long learner and future dentist, I am excited to expand my technical skills and scientific knowledge. I am eager to meet new patients and excited to continue working with a team that prioritizes sustainable, innovative, and functional dentistry.
