Our Dental Team Parma, Idaho

I started working here in 2011. I went to school for dental assisting, but I have done a little of everything since I have been at Trailridge Family Dental. I am currently the marketing director. I love having a boss who cares for his employees as much as his patients, and I love the high quality of care we provide.

I have been married for over 13 years, and we have three children. In my spare time, I enjoy … Wait, I don’t have free time, I’m a busy mom and I love every minute of it!

Jennifer graduated in 2022 from South University, GA, with a Bachelor of Science degree in healthcare management. She originally joined Trailridge Family Dental in 2019, left briefly in 2022 and re-joined our team in 2024. She loves being able to help patients with their insurance and financial needs, making it possible for them to get the best treatment and smile possible. Jennifer works hard to keep claims being processed and paid in a timely manner. She represents patients with the insurance company and works closely with our patients for the financial aspects of their treatment.

Jennifer celebrated 35 years of marriage with her husband Ron this year. They have an amazing son, daughter and son-in-law, and five wonderful grandkids! In her spare time, Jennifer loves to paint. She taught herself a few years ago, and enjoys every minute teaching her grandchildren to paint as well. She also loves to travel and explore new places. Jennifer absolutely loves to help others. She can often be found laughing and having fun, and is a huge Disney fan – she travels to Disneyland at least once a year! Jennifer is also a huge sports nut, and football and baseball are her favorites.

Hi, I’m Destra, the new patient coordinator here at Trailridge Family Dental!

I am glad to be a part of a team that is so passionate about their patients!

Outside the office, you’ll catch me doing lashes, coaching cheer and doing some sort of outside activity with my wonderful family. I’ve been married to my husband for 11 years and together we have four beautiful children and a French bulldog named Leo!
