I am 34. A high school dropout, and a mother of 7. I was born and raised in Arizona and grew up in a lower end middle class family ( not quite poor enough to be poor not rich enough to be comfortable In Middle class) dental was ALWAYS the biggest struggle my family had for me growing up. I have become more experienced through life and life’s struggles. Over time I have become passionate about oral health in general because I now know the effects that poor oral health can have on a person. As a child I never would have imagined some of the day to day struggles I have would be because I didn’t have good dental! I am passionate about making sure no Arizonans have to face the struggles and the obstacles that I had to face or am still facing. I aim to make Arizona better for us all.
