Our Support Team

I was born on Guam, USA, a military brat. St. Petersburg became our final home and I have not wandered from Florida since. I graduated from USF in 1989 with a B.S. in Business Marketing and worked as an Event Coordinator for Tropicana Field, Bayfront Center Arena, and Mahaffey Theater. I found my true passion when I attended SPC Dental Hygiene School and graduated in 2004. Patient care and education fills my soul and nothing makes me happier than to help patients regain and maintain their oral health through improved dental hygiene. I have been with Dolphin Dental since 2015 and it is a privilege to work with this team of professionals that make not only me, but all our patients feel like family. I have three amazing adult children and an awesome husband. We all love spending our free time on the water, boating, and cruising the Gulf and intracoastal waterway in our little piece of paradise.

I attended Dental Hygiene school in Ohio, then moved to Florida 29 years ago. I have lived in Seminole ever since and have had the opportunity to raise my children in this great area. I enjoy my family, the beach, sunshine, outdoor activities and of course our 2 dogs and 2 cats.  I joined the Dolphin Dental Team in 2017. I like the small town feel the office has with all the patients that have been in the practice for so many years.   I have wonderful coworkers and I value and appreciate the high standard of care and personal attention we give to our patients.

I was born is LaCrosse, WI and grew up in Seminole. My dental assistant training at STVTI’s dental assisting program in 1982 prepared me for a fullfilling career in dentistry. I spent the next 32 years practicing with Dr. Mark Davis who retired in 2014 and trusted his practice to Drs. Maher and Murad Rashid. I work in all aspects of dentistry but my passions are implant dentistry and complex restorations. My husband and I call Largo home. In my free time I enjoy reading, walking my Golden Retriever, and spending time with family and friends.

I began my dental career over 30  years ago at a terrific private practice in my hometown of Methuen, Massachusetts. My husband and I moved to Florida in 2016 to be geographically closer to my parents. In 2017 I was elated to join the Dolphin Dental Team, the core philosophy of the practice encompasses everything as a dental health professional we work towards providing for the patient …exceptional patient experience along with great dental care. My husband and I thoroughly enjoy Sailing and Skiing, We stay active playing pickleball on a regular basis and exploring all that Florida has to offer.

I began working with Dolphin Dental Group in 2019 after moving to the area from the coast of Virginia. I am a graduate of Old Dominion University (Go Monarchs!) and Tidewater Community College. I bring 30 years of dental experience to the practice, having started my dental career as a clinical assistant, to now providing insurance and billing services to our patients. I find it fulfilling to help our patients understand and maximize their dental coverage in order to get their needed dental care. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my family, friends, & cats (meow!), going to the beach, eating good food, traveling, and riding rollercoasters.

You’ll get to know me well in our office. I am likely the first person you will meet when you come into the office. My role as Hygiene Coordinator allows me to do what I find most satisfying and that is help people maintain their oral health. I enjoy helping patients learn about how important oral health is as well as explaining their treatment recommendations. I am originally from Indiana. My move to Florida was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I enjoy the sun, the beaches, and everything else outdoors. When not taking care of our great patients, I love spending time with my 3 wonderful cats, reading great books, and relaxing in the Sunshine State!
