Dr. Jamie enjoys the process of building a relationship with her patients based on trust and open communication. Starting with the patients' personal health goals and overall wellbeing, her discussions often revolve around topics beyond the teeth. Clinically, she enjoys the art and science of restoring health and function for her patients and takes a special interest in Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry (BRD) and Adhesive Dentistry. She continues to advance her skills and knowledge in dentistry by consistently taking continuing education each year well beyond the requirements to practice dentistry. She also enjoys mentoring dentists at the L.D. Pankey Institute, a cornerstone of the dental profession, and participates in multiple dental study clubs that focus on clinical, behavioral, and leadership skills. Dr. Jamie earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Washington in 1999 and Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from the Oregon Health & Science University in 1991. Jamie believes that her background as a practicing dental hygienist prior to completing her doctorate degree has made her a more well-rounded clinician and person.

Growing up in the Gig Harbor area, I love calling the Pacific Northwest my home, and working in my home town communities. While completing my degree in kinesiology from Western Washington University, I found my passion for dentistry. During the time, I underwent dental implant surgery with the University of Washington and was fortunate to intern with a local dentist. Both experiences were immensely intriguing, experiencing dentistry as a patient and providing care. My journey began! In 2015, I graduated dental hygiene school and my love for the profession continues to grow and expand. My most recent training, focusing on myofunctional therapy, will allow me to even further improve your oral and overall heath.

I’ve been a dental hygienist since 2003. I grew up in a small town in Iowa and moved to Washington to join my family living in the northwest. Teeth have always fascinated me. My love for dentistry started when I was a young kid with the most amazing and kind dentist growing up and I saw firsthand how he encouraged others to focus on preventative care. I went to school at Hawkeye Community College and graduated with honors and the Hu-friedy “Golden Scaler” Award. My professional goals are to continue to evolve prevention beyond the gums and teeth to the whole body and overall health. This is when Dr. Jamie came into my life and truly values this and aligns with my professional goals to help our patients to achieve their own goals. I have worked at Brooks Dental Studio since August 2021.
