Sabina is from upstate New York but has lived in Virginia the vast majority of her life. She has attended both Northern Virginia Community College and Lord Fairfax Community College where she is close to obtaining her Associates in Applied Science and became a Certified Nurses Assistant. Upon going to school Sabina struggled trying to decide if she would specialize in working with children, or those with special needs. Dr. McCorkles office presents a wonderful opportunity to combine both of those passions. She began working full time at Dr. McCorkles in 2012 and continued part time after having her first child. Sabinas certifications include dental X-ray, American Heart Association BCLS, PEARS (Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization), a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) course, and ongoing Dental training.

Sabina enjoys periodically painting murals and has painted our ocean themed murals here in the office. Her favorite bible verse is Esther 4:14; And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Shailee was born and raised in Inwood, WV. She attended Musselman High School and Spring Mills High School and currently is enrolled at Blue Ridge Community College. November 2015 is when she joined the team, and plans to attend Hagerstown Community College to obtain her degree in Dental Hygiene. She struggled to decide which field to build a career in because while she had a desire to work in the medical field, she had a passion to work closely with children. Soon after graduation she met Kim who led her to Dr. McCorkles office which combines both. Her certifications include X-ray, American Heart Association BCLS and PEARS (Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization.)
Shailee is a new mom to her son Landyn and loves spending time with her family. She attends Airborne church in Martinsburg WV where she enjoys helping in the childrens department. The most rewarding part of my job is helping children overcome their fears of the dentist.
