Interests & Hobbies:
I enjoy running with Tank (our dog), cooking/baking, and reading. I am an avid Green Bay Packers & Iowa Hawkeyes fan and enjoy spending time with friends and family.
About My Family:
I married in 2011 to Jake Wilke, teacher. Jake is from Elkader, IA, and teaches at MFL MarMac High School in Monona, IA. Our firstborn, Charlotte, turned six this past June and is the proud big sister of Gretchen, 4 yrs old, and Harrison, who was born in September of 2021!
Why Did I Return to NE Iowa:
"Both Jake and I have such wonderful memories of growing up in Northeast Iowa, and I am so excited to be moving back to begin my dental practice. The small-town values and friendly atmosphere make this area a great place to live, work, and raise a family. I feel very fortunate to be able to join such a great practice, and I look forward to helping serve the dental needs of this community."
