As a little girl, Kay used to play “dentist” with her dolls, using her mother’s kitchen utensils as her “instruments.” After completing the Dental Assistant Program at St. Louis Community College in Kirkwood, MO, Kay worked as an assistant for 20 years. She went on to become a Practice Administrator, a role she has now held for over a decade. Kay is a lifetime AADOM member and earned her fellowship designation (FAADOM) in 2020. She is currently completing the requirements for her mastership designation (MAADOM). Away from the practice, she loves riding motorcycles and ATVs with her husband and spending lots of time with their daughters and six grandchildren.
