Hello and welcome to our office! Some of you may remember me from a few years ago. Due to life’s miracles, it has been 5 years and I now have the opportunity to resume my position as the Financial Coordinator. It has been wonderful seeing all the faces of former patients that have returned with their children and extended family. I have 11 years of dental front office experience with a background in marketing. My goal is to dedicate myself to all of your needs in hopes to make your orthodontic experience as simple and stress free as possible. I would say the most rewarding part of my job is seeing a person’s smile transform and hearing their words of excitement.

Outside of the office, I love to read books that are positive and uplifting. I love to scuba dive, snorkel and fish. I am a proud mother of my 18 year old daughter Samantha, who I love with all my heart and I’m currently engaged to the love of my life, Karl.
