Hi! I am a hygienist at Smile Stories. I was born and raised in Durham, NC. I attended the UNC Dental Assisting program in 1997. While at UNC, I quickly realized that dental hygiene was my passion. I then attended Wayne Community College to obtain a degree in Dental Hygiene. I have been practicing dental hygiene for over 22 years. I enjoy working with patients to improve and maintain their oral health. I strive to provide optimal care to every patient I meet. Outside of dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching my son play baseball, and cheering on my Tarheels!
Hi! I am a patient care coordinator at Smile Stories and am the first person you will get to meet when you contact Smile Stories. I attended college at Appalachian State University. I have been in the dental field for over 10 years. During my years working on the administrative side of the dental industry, I have gained experience in helping patients by coordinating patient care such as scheduling and handling insurance claims. I was born and raised in Hillsborough, NC, and returned to the area in 2009 after having my daughter, Emma. When I am not in the dental office, I enjoy spending time cooking with my daughter and hanging out with family and friends.
Hi! I am a registered dental assistant with a passion for providing the highest quality care to my patients. I enjoy learning about every patient I meet and how to make them feel comfortable. It is imperative for our team to ensure the healthiness behind each smile. I have been working in the field of dentistry for over 15 years. It has provided an amazing work-life balance, and I cannot see myself doing anything else. Working with Dr. Ko and the team at Smile Stories is such an honor, and I love to see your smiling faces each day! In addition to dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and swimming.
