My name is Bonnie and I have been practicing dental hygiene since 2002. I am a Northern Michigan native, and enjoy getting to know people and learning their stories. I graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree in Biology in 1998 and an associate’s degree in Dental Hygiene in 2002, worked in Cadillac for 18 years, and joined Dr. Piche’ and Dr. Olson’s office in 2021.
I enjoy helping people reach their goals for a happy and healthy life through applying our ever-growing understanding of the link between oral and systemic health. I find that listening to people and reaching solutions together can make dentistry less intimidating and I want to provide a comfortable experience for each person that visits.
I have two young children, and we spend as much time outside as possible. Hiking, camping, gardening, swimming, sledding, and just wandering in the woods to see what we find are some of our favorite activities at the moment. We live on a mini farm with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and bees. I teach the Cradle Roll/Kindergarten class at my church, and love seeing children growing in their love for Jesus. My life is full and happy, and I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can help you in yours!
