Dental Assistant/ EDDA

I have been a dental assistant since 1989, after attending Mesa State College. I worked for Dr. Julie Gillis for 33 years. When Dr. Gillis retired in 2022, Dr. Gorman took over the practice. I am so thankful to be able to continue working with Dr. Gorman, and his amazing staff. The dentistry, and caring for his staff and patients, I have seen, is extraordinary. I can answer any questions you may have about any aspect of your dental care and will assist you in making sure your dental treatment is efficient and comfortable.

Outside of the dental office, I am blessed that I am very close to my twin adult daughters, Courtney and Cassie who both still live in Grand Junction. I enjoy reading, cooking (always trying new recipes) and spending time with my husband Bryan hiking with our German Shepard Loki.

Front Office

I have worked for Dr. Gorman for almost two years. I am one of the front desk receptionists at the practice and am also in charge of accounts receivable and insurance billing. I am happy to be back in the dental profession after being away for 30 years. I moved to Grand Junction 16 years ago after raising my family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I am the proud mother of one son and three grandchildren. I enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, and traveling. I also referee high school volleyball on Colorado’s western slope in the fall.
