Meet Our Staff

I am the Financial Coordinator at TS Orthodontics. I love seeing the unique transformations from patient to patient. It is very rewarding to know that I am helping people’s smiles be beautiful, confident, and healthy. Here at TS Orthodontics, we are like one big family. Everyone works well together and has fun, too!

I was born and raised in the Asheville area. After graduating from dental assisting school, I relocated to Jacksonville, NC to be with my husband who was finishing up his career in the Marine Corps. We then moved back to the mountains and I am glad to call them my home. In my free time, I enjoy golfing, hiking, and spending time with friends, family.
