Jamie Griggs
Dental Hygiene Faculty
Jamie graduated from Colorado Northwestern Community College’s dental hygiene program in 2015. Shortly after, she found herself landing a dream hygiene position with McCreight Progressive Dentistry and is now laser certified through the World Clinical Laser Institute and Perio Protect, LLC. This journey has brought her many places, including lecturing to national and international audiences. True to her natural fashion, Jamie sought growth and completed her bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene with Weber State University in the winter of 2019. She now serves as the second year clinic coordinator and full-time faculty in the dental hygiene department at Colorado Northwestern Community College. Her favorite courses to teach are anesthesia and periodontics, although she loves her role as clinic coordinator as well. In 2024 Jamie was blessed with an opportunity to join EMS as a SDA trainer and has loved sharing her passion for GBT with hygienists from all over the United States.
Jamie was raised in Fruita, Colorado, and has lived in Rangely, Colorado since 2010. Her interests include raising her daughter, Brooklyn alongside her husband, shooting her bow, fly fishing, golfing, riding horses, and helping on her in-laws’ cattle ranch.
