Meet the Cole Dental Team

My ten plus years at Cole Dental has been a true blessing. I thoroughly enjoy working alongside Dr. Stephanie and our incredible staff, but it is truly our pa ents who make the job special. It is always a pleasure to catch up with them during their visits. Outside of the office, I love a ending concerts, plays, and spor ng events. I also love opportunites to travel and making memories with friends, but my favorite thing is the me I get to spend with my husband, kids, and grandkids.

I have been in the dental field since 2019 and was a sterilization tech prior to becoming a dental hygienist. My favorite part of my job is getting to build a relationship with patients while educating them about their oral health. When not working, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my husband and golden retriever, and hiking. I can't wait to see you in my chair!

I love Dental Assisting and learning more and more each day. Getting to know all of our wonderful patients keeps me excited to come to work at Cole Dental. In my personal life I like to spend time with my roommates, my cats (Olive, Luka, & Milo), and long-time Boyfriend. I also enjoy video games, camping, and biking. I worked in the food industry for 6 years prior to working in the dental field and developed a lot of experience that helps me in my day at Cole Dental. I am passionate for the variety and fast-paced environment of dental assisting.

My dental assisting career began over 24 years ago, and I graduated from the American Institute
of Health and Technology in 2002. After spending 10 years as a dental assistant, I expanded my
career into front office administration. For the past 14 years, I have specialized in administrative
management and dental insurance coordination, where I enjoy helping patients navigate their
care and ensuring the office runs smoothly.
During my off time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two boys. When I am not at
soccer arenas, or soccer parks watching my boys play soccer, I can be found running, hiking,
boating and enjoying outdoor activities.
I was born in Bosnia and raised in Idaho, giving me a deep appreciation for different cultures
and experiences. I love traveling and exploring new countries whenever I have the opportunity.
