I am the founder of Great Crowns & Smiles (GCS) Dental Lab. in Louisville, KY. I have over 30 years of experience in all aspects of dental lab leadership and have hold my certification as a dental technician for over 25 years specializing in ceramics. I started my journey as a dental tech in one of the biggest commercial labs in the world and I was part owner of a boutique lab in New Hampshire, for some time. Having these experiences have given me an upper hand on how to maintain quality and consistency whilst doing what I love. In 2018, I started GCS with the support of friends, family, and fellow associates whereupon I set an audacious goal of creating one million smiles. As a woman in dentistry, helping a new generation of future dental techs pave their path in dentistry, and collaborating with dentists, I can see beautiful smiles changing the world for the best. I am always grateful to find inspiration in the work I do and look forward to continue designing and fabricating dental restorations that most of all make people happy. Outside of work, I enjoy growing heirloom tomatoes and herbs, cycling, kayaking, practicing yoga, listening music, tasting wine & food, and capturing pictures of the cutest moments of my puppy, Scotty.
