Dental Hygienist

I began my career in dentistry in 1994 as an assistant. In 1997, I became a dental hygienist. I love getting to know my patients and their families and helping them to maintain and improve their oral health. The care I provide is customized for each patient and his or her unique smile. I also enjoy working with a team that is 100 percent committed to taking care of our patients. As a team, we treat our patients and each other with consideration and respect.

At home, I have two daughters that I spend all of my free time with. We enjoy riding our horse and being outdoors with our animals.

Dental Assistant

I joined Northwest Smile Design in 2002. I assist Dr. Peterson and Dr. Koontz with many of our patients’ restorative procedures. I enjoy working with people and being able to make them feel comfortable while in our office. Smile makeovers are the best part of my job; giving someone his or her smile back is very rewarding.

I am married and a mother of three children. We enjoy the outdoors and working in our yard.

Dental Hygienist

I began my career in Dentistry in 2019 after graduating from EWU with a bachelors of science in dental hygiene. My favorite part about being a hygienist is when patients have "light bulb" moments and helping them understand how oral health impacts overall health.

In my free time I enjoy hiking and reading.

I'm very grateful to be a part of the Northwest Smile Design team.

Dental Hygienist

I have worked with Dr. Peterson and Dr. Koontz at Northwest Smile Design since 2007. In my 20-plus years as a dental hygienist, I have had the opportunity to treat all levels of dental needs. My favorite part of my profession is when you feel better and become aware of the importance of oral health and its connection to your overall general health.

I reside with my husband and two children in Arlington. We have dogs and cats that keep us laughing. In my free time I enjoy family activities, movies, game nights, and being on the go. My favorite travel destination is anywhere with a white sandy beach and palm trees.

I look forward to meeting you.

Dental Hygienist

I started working in dentistry in 2015 as a dental assistant. I wanted to further my career and attended dental hygiene school at SCC, graduating in 2019. What I love about being a dental hygienist is making connections with patients and educating people on their oral health and how it relates to their overall health.

When I am not at work, I am usually spending time with my son and husband. We live outside of Granite Falls and enjoy playing in the yard with our two dogs or snuggling up on the couch for movies with our cat

In 2019 I returned to school and graduated as an Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary. As an EFDA you’ll find me helping Dr Peterson and Dr Koontz by placing fillings.

Office Manager

I have been Dr. Peterson’s office manager since 2014 and am very proud to be a part of the Northwest Smile Design Team. I started in dentistry in 1993 as a dental assistant. My constant desire for learning and new adventures brought me to the front office a dozen years ago. Dr. Peterson, Dr. Koontz and every member of our team are committed to providing excellent care and personalized attention to each patient. I am here to help you with your scheduling, treatment planning, and insurance needs.

I live with my husband of more than 20 years, Chris, and our kitty, Charlie. I love walking the trails where I live in Mill Creek, hiking, and spending time with family.
