Lead Dental Assistant

Tara has been a critical team member for Dentistry at East Piedmont since 2008. Her outgoing personality and dental knowledge make her an invaluable asset to our practice.

I grew up in Kentucky and moved to Atlanta in 1999. From the time I got my braces at age 13, I was fascinated with Dentistry, I knew I wanted to be in the field. When the opportunity to become a dental Assistant was presented to me, I knew I had found my calling!

After I achieved my dental assisting certification with the Georgia Board of Dentistry, I completed my Expanded Duties education at Dental Staff School in Marietta, GA. Shortly after, I became a clinical instructor for the school to share my knowledge and train up and coming dental assistants.

As a Founding Member of Atlanta United Football Club, I regularly attend matches for both Atlanta United as well as ATLUTD 2. I am also involved in the craft beer community and enjoy traveling to different breweries. I am a cat mom to Bo, Mr. Blue, Nona, Andrew and Rue.
