I have had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Enriquez and his team for over five years. As the Office Manager for our three locations, I ensure the seamless operation of each office, from adopting cutting-edge technology to organizing staff functions that keep our team engaged. With eight years of experience in various dental specialties, including general dentistry, IV sedation, oral surgery, and orthodontics, I am committed to providing the highest quality care for both our patients and staff.
In addition to my role at the office, I am passionate about education. Every year, I visit our local Dental Assisting School to share my knowledge and experience in Orthodontics, helping to inspire and mentor the next generation of dental professionals.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time on the lake, and spending time with my husband, our three-year-old daughter, and our Yorkie, Bentley.

I graduated from the Dental Assisting Program at College of the Redwoods in 2021. Right after graduating, I began working at Humboldt Orthodontics, and have loved every bit of it. There are so many things to enjoy about working in orthodontics, but I think my favorite is watching the patients’ confidence grow with their smiles. I am very creative so I also really enjoy helping my patients pick out new fun colors for their braces and so far have came up with some really cool color combinations. Working here is amazing and I am so grateful to have this opportunity to work with not only an amazing team but also for Dr. Enriquez, he really makes everyone happy whether it is his patients or his employees and he goes above and beyond.

I started my dental career by interning and shadowing a local dentist back in 2018. Through that experience, I gained a love and passion for the dental field.
