Welcome! I'm glad you decided to come and visit. I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. I grew up and was educated in Michigan (Ferris State University and the University of Michigan). My decision to come to Rochester was based solely on my obtaining gainful employment at Monroe Community College.

Newcomers to the area are often discouraged by the weather and leave at the first opportunity. Being of hearty stock, I remained. I married one of the local boys and settled down. Clinical Dental Hygiene is my favorite aspect of teaching. I have been the freshmen clinical coordinator since 1994. It is exciting to work with the first year students and watch their skills develop. If you are considering a career in Dental Hygiene at MCC, you will share this excitement.
