Meet Our Staff
To me, there's nothing more rewarding than helping a patient achieve a smile they feel truly confident in – it's why I'm so passionate about what we do. With over two decades of experience, I have a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics needed for practice efficiency. I love being an integral part of a team dedicated to delivering exceptional care to our patients, and I consider it a privilege to be part of a team that is committed to improving the lives of our patients and the community at large.
During my personal time, I love spending time with my family, going on vacations, reading, exploring Pinterest, and visiting Chicago. I am a die-hard Cubs fan (Go Cubs!)
I will be one of the first team members you meet at our practice. I look forward to welcoming you and answering any questions you may have. More than a decade ago, I visited Hamilton & Manuele Orthodontics as a parent looking for the best orthodontic care for my children. I was blown away by the exceptional customer service and their outstanding results, and I knew that I wanted to be part of the team. Since then, I've been proud to contribute my skills and expertise to this incredible practice.
Outside of work, I enjoy soaking up time with my amazing family, our cute puppy Zuko, and traveling to new destinations. We love baseball, and our goal is to watch a game in every stadium!
I love that my days are filled with beautiful smiles and wonderful people! I bring over a decade of both dental and orthodontic experience and enjoy helping patients feel confident when they smile. In addition to assisting Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Manuele with orthodontic procedures, I am also responsible for ordering all the clinical supplies and OSHA/Infection Control. I love being part of a team that operates like a family with the common goal of providing excellence to each patient in our practice.
I am a native of Nevada and love living in Las Vegas (GO Knights!) and love spending time with my family. I also love reading, writing, going to the movies, watching Indi films, soccer, and hockey (of course).
I consider it a privilege to be part of a team that operates like a family, with a shared commitment to providing excellence to every patient in our practice. With 16 years of experience in orthodontics, I have worked in all positions, but my true passion lies in working directly with patients in the clinic. I love the connection formed while working one-on-one with patients and find it incredibly rewarding as I personally get to know each one.
Outside of work, I love football (Go Cowboys!), hiking, camping, and getting out of town with my husband and 2 sons.
It is a pleasure to come to work and be part of a team that has fun working together while helping patients smile at the same time. With over 15 years of orthodontic experience, nothing makes me happier than seeing a patient smile with confidence. Our doctors and team are genuinely invested in the well-being of each patient, and we love what we do!
I love spending time with my fabulous family and great friends, and in my leisure time, I love riding motorcycles!
As part of our team, I am thrilled to be one of the first clinicians you’ll meet. I will be working with you to obtain photos and important diagnostic information prior to meeting Dr. Hamilton or Dr. Manuele. Rest assured, it’s an easy process, and my top priority is to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed during our time together. At the end of treatment, we will take another set of photos, and I love witnessing how happy patients are with their new smiles as they view the changes from their initial photos.
I consider it a blessing to work with supportive team members that have become like family and to do what I love to do every day.
Outside of the office, I love being active with my family traveling, shooting hoops, watching my son play hockey, seeing the Vegas Golden Knights play (Go Knights!), and chilling at home playing video games.
I am one of the first team members you will meet when arriving at our practice. One of my favorite aspects of working at Hamilton & Manuele Orthodontics is the relationships we build with our patients. I feel blessed that we have such kind and compassionate patients, and I look forward to getting to know you!
In my free time, I love spending time with my fiancé, trying new and different foods, keeping up with my two cute puppies, and enjoying time at home.
As a treatment coordinator, I have the privilege of assisting Dr. Hamilton or Dr. Manuele during new patient evaluations. With over 30 years of experience in dentistry and orthodontics, I am passionate about building relationships with our patients and guiding them on their smile journey. Educating patients about the numerous benefits of orthodontic treatment for their overall health is particularly rewarding for me. I am always happy to answer any questions and provide support as we work towards achieving your best smile.
Growing up in Oahu, Hawaii, instilled in me a deep appreciation for the value of ohana (family), both in my personal and professional life. When I am not with my HM Orthodontic family, I love spending time with my husband, four sons, three grandkids, and our three dogs. I also enjoy traveling and would love to visit Spain, Italy, and Greece.
I discovered my passion for being an orthodontic treatment coordinator over 30 years ago, and it has only grown stronger with time. Before joining the team, I was always impressed by Dr. Hamilton & Dr. Manuele and admired their consistent success in creating beautiful smiles. I now feel honored to be a part of their team and to be assisting them with new patient evaluations. As a Treatment Coordinator, I take great pleasure in educating both adults and children, as well as their parents, about the true advantages of orthodontic treatment.
As the daughter of an Air Force fighter pilot, I spent my childhood living in various countries, including Libya, Africa, and Germany. I have a deep appreciation for the military and enjoy traveling and spending time with my family and our little beast of a dog, Shelby.
