Meet The Staff
Office Manager
Shannon recently made the move from New Jersey where she grew up to North Carolina, embracing a new chapter in life. Always striving for growth, Shannon is dedicated to self-development and enjoys finding new ways to improve both personally and professionally.
Shannon has spent the past three years honing her expertise in the administrative side of dentistry, where she thrives on advocating for her patients and ensuring they get the most out of their benefits, all while helping them feel confident and proud of their smiles.
When not adjusting to the southern charm, Shannon enjoys cooking up delicious meals, spending quality time with her large family, and showing plenty of love to the ever-growing pack of cats and dogs —there might just be too many furry friends in the house, but who’s counting? (Though, let’s be real, they run the show, not us.)
