I have been working at Westside Family Dental since 2008. Dr. Pap shares my views on how important dental care is for our patients. As I have worked in this practice, I have gotten to know patients and coworkers, which has been the most rewarding experience.

I especially love working with children. I am very passionate about health, especially oral health. I strive to be a part of improving our patient’s health through proper home care and education. Any information I can provide is always a joy for me.
I have been in the field of dental administration for slightly over twenty years and have held the position of office manager for Westside Family Dental for the past eight years. The one thing that I love most about our office is that we are not like many of the fast-service dental clinics; we are an office with a small hometown feel. Spending the past twenty years at this location has given me the opportunity to really know all of our families. Whether you are visiting our office for the first time or are one of our valued long-time patients, our personal relationships and welcoming atmosphere with our patients will make your visit to Westside Family Dental a great dental experience.
I have been happily married for more than thirty years and I am the mother of four children ranging from college to elementary school age. I am very active in my community and with my Parish. I enjoy cooking for my family, baking, and making chocolates.

As my interest in the medical field increased, I decided to get involved in the dental field both administrative and clinical.
