Meet Our Team
Sarah

A Virginia native, Sarah completed a dental assisting program here in the Valley after deciding orthodontics was the field for her! Sarah has earned a Certificate of Specialization in Leadership and Management through a program at Harvard Business School and is also currently completing her Bachelor of Science majoring in Individualized Study with a concentration in Healthcare Leadership at JMU – GO DUKES! After a decade in the field, Sarah became a published author of the illustrated children’s book, “My First Visit to the Orthodontist” to further educate kids and their families on the specialty of orthodontics.
