In my free time, I enjoy playing video games with my boyfriend, hanging out and spending time with friends and family, and lounging with my cat. I love being active too — swimming, hiking, biking, and skiing are some of my favorite ways to spend a day outdoors. I also love going to concerts, watching movies, and experiencing live music. When I have extra time, I enjoy reading, trying new recipes, visiting new restaurants or coffee shops, doing arts and crafts, and exploring new places around town or on weekend trips. I really like finding new hobbies or activities that keep life interesting.
Well, I was born and raised in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, so a lot of what I love about Idaho is similar here in Washington too. My favorite part about Washington is how much there is to explore outdoors — I love finding new places to hike or go on a walk. I also enjoy going to the mall, discovering new local shops or restaurants, and just experiencing the different cities and beautiful scenery. There’s always something new to see or do, whether it’s nature, shopping, or trying new food spots.
My favorite thing about working at an DPO is seeing how much of a difference we make in people’s lives. It’s so rewarding to watch patients grow more confident as their smiles transform. I really enjoy building relationships with patients and their families over time; it makes the work feel very personal and meaningful. I also enjoy the mix of hands-on work and patient care, and I love working as part of a team that’s supportive, detail-oriented, and committed to helping people feel their best. Plus, there’s always something new to learn, which keeps each day interesting!
