Hello and welcome to Livewell dental! I am so excited to meet you! I was born and raised in Green Bay WI (Go Pack!) I’ve since traveled this beautiful country, living in and exploring so many wonderful and amazing places but I am happy to call Virginia my home! I became a hygienist with one goal in mind, you! I earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene from NYU. My focus is to create a safe space where you feel fully understood and completely comfortable. Working with Dr. Chris and the team doesn’t feel like “work” at all, but when I am away from the practice I enjoy time outdoors, hosting dinner parties with friends and family, staying active, and traveling.

Hi, my name is Kona, and I am the office mascot! Although you won’t see me during business hours, I work off-hours to make sure every office corner is sparkly clean! To look a part of being the mascot of a dental office, I brush my teeth daily and stay away from sweets. It’s ruff! When I am not busy working, I like to play fetch or take a stroll around Old Town Alexandria with my loving pawrents.
