Joy initially chose a career in dentistry because she enjoyed her work as a Dental Assistant more than the nighttime EMT job she had been working at the time. When a hygienist in her office suggested she consider dental hygiene, Joy embraced the opportunity. She earned her Associate of Applied Science from Prairie State College in 1998 and began her ongoing search for new ways to improve patient health and office efficiency.
With 3 years as a Dental Assistant, 2 as a Certified Orofacial Myologist, and 20 as a Registered Dental Hygienist, Joy understands the inner workings of a dental office as only an insider can. She finds it highly rewarding to bring her own experiences to help clients improve efficiency, operations, and their bottom line. Joy works hands-on with doctors and teams to help the office run more smoothly and effectively, while reducing stress and increasing positivity.
Joy was married in Las Vegas in 1995 and now has 3 mostly-grown children – 2 boys and a girl. When not helping clients, she loves to read and to travel, but only to warm destinations!
