I have been an RDA since 1990, for the past 11 years I have been working with Dr. Galen Fillmore, and before that I worked with his brother, Dr. Gerald Fillmore for 11 years. You will find me in the front office or the back working on patients, pretty much everywhere. I love getting to know our patients and their families, helping them in the process of creating a beautiful smile, most of all I love working with our amazing team!

I enjoy traveling all over the world with my husband, most of the time I have my toes in the sand in Hawaii, chilling in the snow in Lake Tahoe, or soaking up some sun at Disneyland with my daughter and 2 grandsons. We also have a Labrador retriever and a Mini Schnauzer that keep us pretty busy too!

My fianc and I have recently moved up North from the Bay Area (saving me a total of 3 hours in traffic each day). In my free time, I love playing with my pit bull and chihuahua, bowling, fishing, shooting, and driving my Jeep around in the mud. I also love telling and hearing jokes, so if you know a good one be sure to tell me when you come in!

I have been in the dental field for roughly 12 years and Ive been in orthodontics for 6 of those years. Youll find me in the back working on patients, covering patients noses in alginate, telling jokes, and just being goofy. You may also find me in the front managing the Denti-Cal claims.

I lived in the Bay Area for the last 8 years and recently moved to Chico. When Im not at work youll find me spending time with my kitties, Karli and Stevie, or training for some upcoming race. I enjoy running long distances and have been making great use of the trails Chico has to offer.

I recently graduated from a Dental Assisting program here in Chico, and started my career here at Dr. Fillmores office. Youll find me working in the back office assisting Dr. Fillmore, taking impressions, and joking with patients. I enjoy orthodontics because we get to build a relationship with our patients, and get to see how happy they are after years of hard work!
