For Katie, going to the dentist was always a highlight growing up—she loved the experience and even found herself admiring people’s teeth and smiles. Now, she’s turned that childhood enthusiasm into a career and a mission: to help others love the dentist just as much as she does.

Originally from Montana, Katie was drawn to Alaska for its endless outdoor adventures. Whether she’s hiking, fishing, camping, or just getting in a good sweat, she loves staying active and making the most of the great outdoors. But what she values most is quality time—with family, friends, and the patients she gets to connect with every day.

For Katie, dentistry isn’t just about healthy teeth—it’s about making people feel comfortable, confident, and excited about their smiles.
