Janelle has been with Alta Dental since February 2019. She graduated with high honors from The University of New England in 2008 with a Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene and a Minor in Business Administration; she was selected to represent her school by travelling and presenting her research at the 84th Annual Session Dental Hygiene Convention in New Orleans. She has a love for continued education and has expanded her knowledge over the years to include licensing/certification in multiple dental programs, including administration of local anesthesia. Her passion for helping others inspired her to travel to the Dominican Republic, as part of a medical mission group, where she completed a variety of tasks despite the cultural and language barriers; she also volunteered her time and dental skills at a non-profit clinic in Portland for immigrants. Her experiences over the past decade plus have enabled her to have a more precise understanding of a wide range of dental treatments and an astute ability to explain these procedures to her patients. Her compassion for teaching others continues in her weekend work as a ski instructor. During her time away from work, Janelle enjoys spending time with family and exploring the outdoors; she finds pleasure in sports of all seasons and can be found anywhere from the ocean to high atop a mountain.
