Meet The Team

Tara is our front desk coordinator. She enjoys spending time with her son. She is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan. Tara also enjoys scary movies, caramel apples, and tattoos!

I graduated from Northeast MS Community college in 1985. I moved to northern VA about a year & a half later to continue my dental hygiene career. I keep up to date on my continuing ed classes. I enjoy helping my patients achieve their optimum dental hygiene care. I joined Birkitt Dental on 2/5/2019. I am truly blessed to be working with such a great team.
