Dee, Dental Assistant
I am the newest staff member to join this amazing Cooper Dental Team! I graduated from IPFW's certified dental assisting program in 2005. (Goodness, time flies!) My passion is communication and genuinely connecting with people. Dentistry has definitely given me that opportunity. When I'm not in the office assisting both Dr. Coopers, you'll find me showing homes or doing someone's hair and makeup. That's right, Real Estate Agent and Cosmetologist are also under my credentials. I feel very blessed to be able to help and serve.
