Born and raised on the westside of Santa Cruz, I began my journey in dental 27 years ago as a dental assistant and quickly discovered my passion for supporting patients and building strong, connected dental teams. With clinical, public relations and dental office management experience, I’m committed to nurturing a warm, welcoming space where patients feel truly cared for and staff feel supported every step of the way.

When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me soaking up the coastal views, biking around town, or relaxing with my husband, son, daughter-in-love, and their three adorable fur babies. I feel incredibly grateful to live and work in this beautiful community and to be part of a team that values kindness, connection, and quality care.

Raised in Santa Cruz, I attended Cabrillo College before graduating from UC Davis in 2025 with a B.S. in Chemistry. I’m so grateful to be part of the incredible team at New Street Dental, gaining invaluable experience in both the clinical and administrative sides of dentistry. I plan to apply for dental school in spring 2026 and feel fortunate to learn each day from such a caring and skilled group of professionals.

Outside the office, I enjoy staying active, playing music, reading, and spending time with friends over a good card or board game. I also work as a server at Oswald restaurant in downtown Santa Cruz and love being part of this beautiful, eclectic community.

My interests—from the creativity of architecture and mechanical thinking of engineering to the dexterity of music and joy of serving others—have shaped my path toward dentistry. I’m excited to begin this next chapter and one day provide the same attentive care I’ve experienced here.

In 2008 I graduated from the Foothill College Dental Hygiene program and have been working as a hygienist on the peninsula since.

I am thrilled to join the wonderful team at New Street Dental. I moved to Santa Cruz in 2015 and love that I can now walk or bike to work. I enjoy getting to know and care for patients in the dental setting and hope to help each patient reach their optimal dental health.

When I’m not at work I like to spend my time outside, gardening, visiting my parents, and working/relaxing on my boyfriend’s family property east of Mount Hamilton.

A California native, I have called Santa Cruz my home since 1977. I am an Air Force veteran and spent 4 years at Vandenberg AFB as a dental hygienist. In 1989 I graduated from the Cabrillo College Dental Hygiene Program and have worked in the Santa Cruz area ever since.
As a hygienist I truly enjoy inspiring patients to achieve and maintain optimal oral health.

I’m thrilled to have been given this recent opportunity to join Dr. McClure and his truly stellar staff, bar none.

Gardening, biking and fishing are some of my most favorite things in life to do… not to mention spending time with my husband, 4 adult children and 5 grand children!

Growing up in rural Northeast Oregon, I spent summers picking strawberries and winters making snowmen. My family made the big move to Santa Cruz when I was 16 and have lived here ever since. In 1993 I graduated from the ROP program and enjoyed the next five years working as a dental assistant. I returned to school and graduated as a dental hygienist in 2001.

I have worked with Dr. McClure since 2009 and really love being a part of this practice and the beautiful new office building. The relationships that I share with our patients makes my job fun. Helping them to improve their oral health makes it rewarding as well. I live on the west side of Santa Cruz with my husband and two kids and enjoy biking and walking on West Cliff.

I grew up in San Jose and moved to Santa Cruz in 1991. I received my registered dental assistant license in 1986 and have worked with Dr. McClure since 1995. I feel very fortunate to work with such a great team. It is really rewarding to be able to provide such a high quality of care in a gentle, friendly environment. I have enjoyed getting to know our current patients and look forward to meeting our new patients and their families as well.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my children as well as gardening, baking, and walking.

I am proud to have been part of the Santa Cruz dental community for over five years, working closely with patients and colleagues to provide exceptional care. As a dental assistant, my focus is on ensuring each patient feels comfortable and supported throughout their visit, whether it’s assisting during procedures or preparing treatment rooms. I understand that dental visits can be anxiety-inducing, and I strive to make the experience as stress-free as possible.

I am committed to making every patient’s experience smooth and efficient, with attention to detail and a caring approach. I look forward to meeting you and am excited to continue supporting your dental health needs with a smile.
