I love the conversations with our patients, catching up on the latest news, and meeting new people. Our patients are my friends and they feel like family to me. I’m glad to help people I care about develop healthy and happy smiles. I welcome patients to our office and make sure their visit is a good one. I work with patients to review their proposed treatment plans. I help them with their insurance, too. I also handle patient correspondence and scheduling.
I love spending time with my family, most of whom live only 10 minutes from me. I have a delightful Cockapoo named Bailey. I’m active with my church and their elementary school. I love volunteering to help with costumes and set designs for plays.
Our patients are the best! My coworkers and our patients feel like family. I enjoy catching up with them at each visit. I handle our recare system, accounts payable and insurance, as well as a variety of front-desk duties. I do whatever is needed to keep everything running well.
I have two grown daughters who are in the nursing and dental fields, as well as two grandchildren who have captured my heart. I live in Sandwich and love taking short trips to anywhere to see the beautiful scenery that surrounds us. I also love to fish and garden in my spare time.
I enjoy helping patients reach their goals of better oral and overall health. Each person has unique needs and desires. I encourage patients to talk about what they want to achieve, and then we work together to make it happen. I take patient histories, examine their mouth, and clean and polish teeth. All the while, I talk with the patient about the correlation between tooth and gum health and the health of their body. I want people to be able to make good decisions and create healthy habits.
I’m a proud mother of three grown children: Lauren, Colin, and Craig. When I’m not working, I love to read, garden, and work around my home on various projects.
The best part of every day is knowing that each of my patients is healthier after coming to see me. I enjoy getting to know my patients as people, learning about their lives and interests, and becoming friends. My goal is to help each patient take control of their oral health, and I am happy to share simple, effective techniques. During visits, I provide preventive care and non-surgical periodontal therapy, and collect diagnostic images and data to be used in creating a custom treatment plan for each patient.
I love spending time off with my husband, Mark, and our large family. As a lifelong music lover, attending concerts and studying the harp bring me joy. Fitness, nutrition and growing vegetables year 'round are some of my favorite things.
I graduated from Loyola University with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and chemistry and later continued my education at Prairie State College to receive my degree in dental hygiene. I am passionate about educating patients and bringing awareness to the importance of oral health and its impact on systemic health, and I believe in providing compassionate and gentle care to all patients. I enjoy attending continuing education courses to be able to stay current with technology and the latest research to provide the highest quality care.
Outside the office, I enjoy gardening and group fitness classes, but most importantly, I enjoy spending time with my family.
Working alongside Dr. Jonker, our dedicated team, and our wonderful patients makes every day at Naperville Family Dental truly rewarding. I’m proud to be part of a practice that continually embraces the latest technologies, such as the iTero Scanner, which helps us provide a more comfortable and efficient experience for our patients. With over 10 years of experience as a dental assistant, I find great joy in building meaningful relationships with our patients and assisting them in maintaining their healthiest, most beautiful smiles.
Outside of the office, I’m a proud mom to two wonderful daughters and a dog named Finley. As an animal lover, I enjoy exploring forest preserve trails and unwinding with a good book. I cherish spending quality time with friends and family—whether we're tackling something adventurous like ax throwing or zooming around on Segways.
