Graduating from Montana State University in 2001, Kristi is equipped with a bachelor’s in health administration. Afterwards, she completed a dental hygienist program through MSU in Great Falls. She first started with Dr. Blanchard in the late 2000s before taking time to start her family, but she rejoined the practice a few years later. Loving her chosen profession, her favorite part is helping patients to learn and keep good oral health. Her goal is to provide a comfortable and positive experience during all hygiene appointments. Guaranteed the first thing you will notice in Kristi’s room is her amazing laugh!

Kristi is married to her husband, Jeff, and together they have three children – an oldest son followed by a set of twins (in one of each)! Her hobbies include camping, fishing, and hiking.
