Every day I am excited to be a part of a family orientated practice, where loyalty and supporting others is at the top of the list.

I do not engage in any office gossip, I'd rather spend time in helping out wherever I can and making our team better. I am passionate about orthodontics and cats.

Recently we were all taught how to take a digital scan but I have not mastered this skill yet. I look forward to mastering this skill as it is the way of the future.


Orthodontic Dental Hygienist

Dr Ed O'Neill
04.2002 - 06.2010

Dr O'Neill taught me my first real experiences with orthodontics. I was 33 yrs old and had just recently got braces myself. Dr O'Neill offered my a job and did not mind me not having any experience as he wanted to " teach me his skill set, rather than reteach another Drs' bad habits."

He was a perfectionist much like Dr Kuppers and Dr Greene. I believe this set me up for my journey down the road with Kuppers and Greene Orthodontics and to my sucess.

Jobs included much of the same with my current location but using twin bracket system.
