Meet Our Team

A Virginia native, Sarah completed a dental assisting program here in the Valley after deciding orthodontics was the field for her! She has earned a Certificate of Specialization in Leadership and Management through a program at Harvard Business School and is currently completing her Bachelor of Science at James Madison University with a specific concentration in Healthcare Leadership – GO DUKES! During her time at JMU, Sarah was honored with induction into the very selective Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society, recognizing her academic excellence by ranking in the top 7.5 percent of her class. She was also selected for induction into The Society for Collegiate Leadership & Achievement (SCLA), an accredited honor society recognizing high-achieving college students, and has been further recognized for her outstanding academic achievements and leadership qualities by Zenab Bastawala, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at James Madison University—an exclusive honor extended to only a small percentage of students, reflecting her commitment to excellence and leadership. After a decade in the field, Sarah became a published author of the illustrated children’s book, My First Visit to the Orthodontist, to further educate kids and their families on the specialty of orthodontics. When she’s not in the office, she’s a busy mama to her two kids, Cora and Hudson, and enjoys traveling with her husband. We’re grateful for all she does to keep our practice running smoothly! 

Clinical Manager

As our clinical manager, Jessy brings over 20 years of unmatched clinical and laboratory expertise to our practice. Her skill, precision, and deep understanding of orthodontics ensure that our clinic operates seamlessly and that every patient’s visit is as comfortable and efficient as possible. A native of the Shenandoah Valley and graduate of MTC’s Dental Program, Jessy immediately became an invaluable part of our team, making our office her professional home from day one. Her exceptional talent extends far beyond chairside care, Jessy personally completes all of our in-house lab work with an attention to detail that reflects both her mastery and her pride in her craft. Her dedication, reliability, and leadership inspire our entire team, and we are deeply grateful for the many ways she elevates the care we provide. Outside of the office, Jessy enjoys staying active at the gym, kayaking, and exploring the outdoors while hiking with her dogs.

New Patient Treatment Coordinator

A graduate of Harrisonburg High School and MTC’s dental assisting program, Jenifer is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration at WGU, demonstrating her dedication to professional growth in healthcare. She is also a commissioned notary public, providing trusted and reliable notarial services to families in the community outside of the office. When she’s not coordinating treatments or assisting with important documents, you can find her spending quality time with family or exploring new destinations through travel—plus, she never says “no” to a Buffalo Wild Wings treat!

After deciding to call the Valley “home” in 2006, Kaelah began her dental journey by completing a dental assisting course and immediately knew she belonged in orthodontics! We are so glad to have Kaelah as a clinical assistant and love her diverse love of Korean food (having worked previously at Mashita, yum!) and how well she can relate to those around her since she is well cultured with a dual citizenship from New Zealand, how neat! Outside of the office, Kaelah enjoys baking, being outside, art, and spending time with her cat, Salem.

Clinician

Brooke is a skilled clinical assistant who brings eight years of prior orthodontic experience to our team. Her calm, patient approach helps put patients of all ages at ease, especially children who may feel nervous during their visits. Brooke has a natural ability to explain procedures in a reassuring way and takes pride in making each appointment a positive experience.

As a mom to twin boys, Colton and Cameron, Brooke’s patience and understanding shine through every day in the clinic. She understands the importance of trust, encouragement, and a gentle touch, and she treats every patient with the same care she gives her own family. We are so grateful to have Brooke as part of our team and know our patients feel that warmth and expertise from the moment they meet her.
