Soon after she began Dental Hygiene school at Lane Community College, where she graduated as the vice-president of her class in 2018. Courtney and her husband spend most of their time fixing up their 1927 craftsman style home, enamored by their sweet baby boy, Harrison and “ruff” housing with their Goldendoodle, Whiteaker. Courtney’s passion for dental hygiene lies in the ability to serve people from all walks of life regardless of what they do or where they are from.
