Nicole, RDH

I grew up in Granite Falls and graduated from GFHS. After high school I went to Eastern Washington University to study Dental Hygiene. I joined a sorority while I was there, AOII, one of the best decisions of my life. I met my husband in high school; he is my best friend and the love of my life. We have a mini Aussie/Blue Heeler named Manny, he is 6 years old. We love taking him to Howarth Dog Park and letting him run around in the ocean. I love being outdoors and preferably by some body of water. I enjoy Kayaking around our local lakes. We like to go away for long weekends with friends and family.

Growing up I had really awful dental experiences which gave me a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist. It wasn’t until we switched offices and I met a hygienist who changed it all for me. She was easy to bond with and she took the time to listen to me and my concerns. I felt like over the years she became more like a friend rather than an intimidating dental professional. She helped me to realize that I wanted to be what she was to me for others who have dental fears and anxieties. So I pursued my career in dental hygiene. I make it my goal to make each patient feel as comfortable as possible and let them know that I hear and validate their concerns.

I love working at All Smiles! We have an amazing team of professionals who work hard to give every patient the highest standard of care. I love how much fun we have together celebrating each other’s birthdays and holidays.
