I am the head dental assistant at Central Park West Dental. I help provide cosmetic, restorative, and preventive treatment to our patients. I’ve been in the dental field for more than ten years and joined Drs. Vogel and Alster’s practice in 2011. What I enjoy most about the dental profession is the satisfaction of seeing the wonderful transformation in our patients’ smiles and self-esteem. As a member of Central Park West Dental’s team, I love that we are always learning about the latest treatments and technologies in order to provide our patients with the best oral care possible.

I joined Central Park West Dental in 2018 and have sixteen years of experience as a hygienist.

I am originally from Cork City, Ireland.  I immigrated to the US in 1994 with aspirations of working in the dental field. I graduated from Farmingdale State University in 2004 with an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene and am certified to administer local anesthesia. As a hygienist, I believe in building relationships with my patients based on trust. I believe the most important aspect of my job is to be an educator, promote optimal health and disease prevention.   I am immensely proud to be part of a profession that contributes to the well-being of others.
