Meet Our Team

Michelle - Office Manager

Hey there! I’m Michelle — Florida-raised, mom of three, and one of the managers here at the office. I’ve been part of the team for over 7 years and usually stay tucked away behind the scenes, but I’m always around to help wherever needed. If you’ve got a clinical question, there’s a good chance I can answer it (or know exactly who can).

And just a heads up — if it’s 11:11, don’t talk to me… I’m probably making a wish.

My favorite quote and/or life motto is: “One step at a time.” (hence the tattoo on my foot!)

Jenn - Office Manager + Marketing Director

Hey! I'm Jenn! I'm a born and raised Floridian (though you wouldn't be able to tell by my tan, or lack thereof lol), and have lived in Central Florida for almost a decade now, but am originally from South Florida! All of my free time is spent at parks, play dates, birthday parties, and fun events around town with my two little ones who are my two tiny best friends. I love being a mom, but I also love being a friend, daughter, sister, coworker, "boss", and Christ-follower equally.

One day you may see me around the office delivering coffees or other random gifts to patients, the next you may see me in a hard hat climbing up a ladder to diagnose a leaky water heater, and the next you might not see me at all because I'm tucked away in my office hiding from- I mean, coordinating the chaos from behind the scenes 😉

Hannah - Front Office Specialist

Hi, my name is Hannah and I am originally from the west coast of Florida. I actually grew up in a town created by the same people who created Deltona - which is where I live now! Although I do not come from the Dental world, my expertise is in administration and anything "behind the scenes" that you can think of. One aspect I love most about my job is that I am able to combine my love of connections with patients with my expertise in admin. 

When I am not working, I am spending time with my husband, two daughters and son, and our psychopath australian shepherd/corgi mix. We are blessed to have most of our family in the area so we are always having huge family gatherings and I soak up every moment of it. We love going to the beach, parks, or local farms. My family and my faith are my motivators day to day and I truly would be lost without them. I am looking forward to enjoying learning more about the dental field and settling in for a long career here.

Marie-Claire - Front Office Specialist

Hello! My name is Marie-Claire, but my friends and family affectionately call me MC. I recently made the exciting move to Florida from Ontario, Canada, alongside my husband, our two wonderful kids, and our beloved dog. Although I've embraced the sunny lifestyle here, my roots trace back to Scotland, which continues to influence my perspectives and values.

With two decades of experience in the dental field, I am passionate about my work and take great pleasure in meeting and connecting with patients. Each interaction is an opportunity for me to make a positive impact in their lives, and I strive to approach every situation with kindness and compassion.

In my free time, I love to explore all that Florida has to offer, soaking up the sunshine and discovering new places. I believe in the power of acts of kindness and aim to make a difference in the lives of others, both professionally and personally. I am excited about this new chapter in my life and look forward to making lasting memories in my new home.

I've been working in the Billing Department for almost a year and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing office and this excellent team.

Jill - Insurance Claims Coordinator

What’s that saying: I wasn’t born in the south but I got here as fast as I could! From the time I was a child living in New Hampshire, I always said someday I will live where it does not snow! I got that wish in January of 2003 when I moved with my husband to our Panama City Beach condo where we lived for 13 years before moving in 2016 to DeLand. I now have a house so I have lots of flowers and citrus trees, my neighbors admire that I can get any plant to grow, last year I earned the DeLand Certified Monarch Butterfly Garden plaque.

I am Grannie Jill to seven soon to be eight cute and smart grandkids. So my vacation time is spending time with them, which is far more exciting than going on a cruise!

Kara - Treatment Coordinator

Hello, my name is Kara, I was born in Buffalo, NY (go Bills) and moved to Florida (go Gators) when I was 9 years old. I am a proud wife and softball mom. I have worked in the dental field for 18 years including assisting and management. I have also worked in the hospital as a Registered Polysomnographer, helping patients with sleep apnea. Now, my two careers have come together and I get to help patients with dental and sleep. I enjoy helping patients feel better, improve their quality of sleep and their smiles. My favorite times are spent with family, friends and going to my daughter’s softball games. Hobbies include crafting, photography, sports and jeeping.

Smile, it is contagious!

Sheila - Lead Treatment Coordinator

Hey, Fam! It’s me, Sheila. Born and raised in Florida. I’m one of very few that can say I’m a true Floridian with some spices and herbs from Puerto Rico. You don’t seem to find them very often, but here I am. Moved to Central Florida in 2000 and have been here since.I have three beautiful children and an awesome spouse that drive me crazy in a great way and keeps me on point. From “Mom can we play Fortnite?” to “Mom have you tried the latest makeup trends?” and “Hey babe, can we buy JDM car parts?” You just gotta love them!! They’re my all.

I love to cook, watch movies and listen to all genres of music. My favorite, I must say, is Bachata and I love me all the Twilight saga movies. I can literally put them on repeat.

Oh, and did I tell you that I truly love eating everything and anything? Love trying new foods but most of all Indian food is on the top of my list.

Sometimes quiet and shy but, I always keep a smile because it will brighten up someone’s day. A smile can go a long way and we all know this world needs more smiles.

“So keep on smiling and I’ll see you around.”

Donna

Hi, I am Donna. I am a Christian, wife, mother, daughter, sister, and dental hygienist. I was raised here in central Florida and have practiced dental hygiene in Orange, Seminole, and now, Volusia, counties. I have been a dental hygienist since I was 22-years-old. It has been a long and rewarding career. I guess you just gotta love it. My kids are grown and my husband and I are building a house in Osteen. We are looking forward to settling in and starting the rest of our lives. I love getting involved in community events, crafts, reading, and travel. We are looking forward to all that and more!

Dorothy

Hey, guys, my name is Dorothy. I am originally from Chicago. Although I do miss the falls and winters, I now prefer a two-week vacation and coming back to warm up. Some of my favorite ways to spend my time are playing fetch with my coonhound-beagle mix, being with family, traveling, cooking new recipes, outdoor activities, and taking long drives in my Subaru. That’s just a little bit about myself, feel free to share a little bit about you at your next dental hygiene visit with me.

Ale

Hi Everyone, my name is Ale and I’m your Italian Dental Hygienist! I was born and raised in Northern Italy near Lake Garda, and I moved to Central Florida in 2016 with my husband. We have two daughters, 5 and 7 years old, and in our free time we love to go to the beach, travel, spend time with friends and watch sports or concerts!

When I’m not taking care of your teeth, I might be busy with some art and craft, playing pickleball or cooking/baking in the kitchen. My favorite dish, of course, is PASTA, I couldn’t live without it!

Shelby

Hi, I’m Shelby. I was born and raised in Orange City, and I’ve always had a passion for helping others, which led me to pursue a career in dental assisting. I love making patients feel comfortable and cared for, especially those who come in feeling nervous or unsure.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, visiting theme parks, and traveling whenever I get the chance. I love making memories through fun experiences and exploring new places.

My “why” is being able to make a positive impact on someone’s health and confidence each day, even in small ways.
