Meet Our Friendly Lima, OH Dental Office Staff

I have been in the dental field since 1986 and began working with Dr. Jon Stocker in 1998. As an office administrator, I enjoy working with all our patients to ensure that their visit is a positive experience. We have a great staff to work with which makes work a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. Outside the office, I enjoy being with my family, friends, cooking, and camping.

I am a 1997 graduate of Rhodes State College and began working in Dr. Stocker’s office since 2002. As a dental hygienist, I enjoy getting to know my patients and working with all the wonderful team-oriented staff. I currently live in Spencerville with my husband. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my three daughters and friends, along with relaxing at the lake.

I have been a registered dental hygienist and part of Dr. Stocker’s team since 1999, when I received my associate degree in dental hygiene from Lima Technical College (Rhodes State College). I returned to college and obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene, with a specialization in education, from The Ohio State University in 2010. That same year, I started teaching in the Dental Hygiene Department at Rhodes State College. I am an active member of The American Dental Hygiene Association and have held many leadership positions on the local, state, and national level. Being a part of all these groups has contributed greatly to improving my role as a dental hygienist, educator, and community member. The opportunity to help people, in a field that was growing and evolving while still having the ability to have and grow with my own family, is what drew me to the field of dentistry. I love the dental field and the opportunity it has given me to share what I have learned with others, as well as learn from my patients and colleagues. My favorite thing to do in my spare time is spend time with my husband, our three children and other family and friends. I also enjoy cooking, reading, and running.

I have been blessed to be part of Dr. Stocker’s team since 2019 as a registered dental hygienist. I am employed full-time at Rhodes State College in the Dental Hygiene Department as an instructor and fill in at Dr. Stocker’s office when available. I have been a dental hygienist since 2008; obtaining my degree from Rhodes State College. In 2016, I furthered my education and received a Bachelor’s of Science in Dental Hygiene with a specialization in education from The Ohio State University. I am an active member of The American Dental Hygiene Association (ADHA) where I have held many leadership positions on the national, state, and local level. I am passionate about the field of Dentistry and advocate for the advancement of our profession as a whole. I currently serve as the ADHA’s student chapter Advisor. I love the field of dentistry and the opportunity to build relationships with my patients and work to improve their overall health! In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my two children, fishing, kayaking and traveling.
