I started in the Dental field in 1976. I received my training as a dental assistant and later moved to the front desk. I have seen a lot of good changes in the dental field since then. In 2004 I joined Dr. Hayhurst’s office in Star and retired in 2014 and now work part-time in the Boise office. I have lived in Idaho all my life. My husband and I enjoy travelling and camping with our family and friends. I enjoy cooking with my four grandchildren as well. Some of my hobbies are reading, sewing, beading and cross stitching. I am very blessed to work with Dr. Hayhurst and his team.
