Kim
Dental Assistant

I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids. I earned a diploma in Dental Assisting from Kirkwood in 1999 and graduated with an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Dental Lab Technology in 2001. I continued my education even further to become one of the first Expanded Functions Dental Assistants back in 2005. For the last 20 years, I have been in the Cedar Rapids area, and in May 2021 I was blessed with the opportunity to join the Dental Touch team.

My husband (Craig) and I met in 2014 at a Rough Riders hockey game. We share 3 children together, Violet, Jack, and Owen. On days that we are not running kids to an activity, we like to spend time with family and friends & do anything outdoors. I enjoy camping, fishing, cooking/baking (which my family and coworkers love), and doing little projects around the house.

I have had a love for dentistry for as long as I can remember, even doing College of Dentistry visits back in middle school. Smiling is proven to change one’s body chemistry, and I love being a part of making beautiful smiles and improving one’s self-esteem in the process!
