Meet the Team
Marlin
Marlín is our dedicated Hygiene Coordinator & Marketing Specialist, bringing passion and energy to everything she does! As a proud advocate for the Latino community, she loves finding ways to support and uplift those around her.
Originally from a Salvadorian family, Marlín makes it a priority to visit El Salvador at least once a year, staying connected to her roots. When she’s not working hard or traveling, she’s spending time with her daughter, Saraí, who is the light of her life.
A huge Carolina Hurricanes fan, Marlín is all about hockey season! And when she’s not cheering on her team, you can find her lost in a good romance novel.
Natalí
Sebastian
We all appreciate Sebastian's gentle disposition. He was born in Mexico but grew up in the Charlotte area. He graduated from North Carolina State University with a degree in zoology, joined our team as a dental assistant, and his goal for the future is to become a dental hygienist. When not at work, he loves cooking new and exotic foods and working on art such as drawing and photography.
Sebastian has been with our practice since September 2021.
Lauren
Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Lauren brings her positive energy as well as talent to our practice. She graduated from the Dental Assisting program at Accelerated Academy in Cary in January 2023 – and wowed us with her skills in multiple areas. She works chairside, of course; with her background in catering, has helped organize events; and having worked in finance, she has made ordering our supplies a science and an art.
Lauren also has a delightful personal side. Dentistry is serious business, but she always seems to find a way to make her patients smile. She shares her life with her partner John and her beloved dogs, Dixie and Whiskey, and enjoys cooking and snorkeling.
Lauren has been with our practice since July, 2023.
Trudy
Outside of the office, Trudy loves traveling to Puerto Rico, where she enjoys visiting family and soaking up the culture. You’ll often find her taking relaxing walks by the lake with her two pups, Benny (1.5 years old) and Pigeon (5 years old), or exploring her love for Mexican and Japanese food.
Fun fact: she’s self-taught on the ukulele!
Ari
AriOnne is originally from Michigan and recently joined the team as a Dental Assistant. She is enthusiastic about building her career in dentistry and is passionate about providing quality patient care.
Bernadette
Bernadette joined our practice as an administrative assistant new to dentistry and quickly demonstrated her aptitude for working as a dental assistant. We shouldn't have been surprised by this hidden talent, as she volunteered with a wild animal rescue site as a teenager and once assisted with oral surgery on a tiger! Bernadette capably assisted chairside for years, then began assisting in our on-site lab, and in January of 2019, became our lead lab technician. Apparently, there's nothing she can't do!
Bernadette has been with our practice since December 2007.
Sandy is our office manager and often works on projects behind the scenes, but you'll see her throughout the office as well. Originally from Vermont, she's another UNC grad – as they say, she wasn't born in the South, but she got here as quickly as she could! When she's not coordinating training and events and pulling reports, Sandra enjoys visits with her grown children and grandbabies and time at home with her husband, dog, and three cats.Gabby
We are excited to introduce Gabby, our dental intern, who recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tar Heels!) with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry!
Originally from the outskirts of Charlotte, North Carolina, she is Jamaican-American and has always had a strong passion for service and community involvement. During her time at UNC, she was actively involved in organizations such as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, while also participating in various volunteer and programming opportunities. She especially enjoyed creating opportunities that brought students and community members together and strengthened her connection to serving others. Outside of the office, she enjoys working out, arts and crafts, and watching her favorite shows.
She is currently gaining hands-on experience with our team as she prepares to apply to dental school during the 2027 application cycle. We are excited to have her as part of our team and look forward to supporting her as she continues to grow her skills and works toward her goal of becoming a dentist!
Laura – Patient Care Coordinator
Laura is a valued member of our front desk team, where she enjoys getting to know our patients and helping make their experience with our office as smooth and welcoming as possible. With a background in customer service and clinical research, she brings a thoughtful, personable approach to patient care and enjoys assisting with scheduling and coordinating patients’ visits.
A North Carolina native, Laura was born and raised in Winston-Salem. She is a true-blue Tar Heel and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Sociology.
Outside of the office, Laura enjoys fiber arts, spending time at the beach, and traveling with her husband and their two grown children.
Our team bonding outing: September 2026.
