I love to spend my time with with my wife, Verenice and our twin daughters Leahni and Gianna. We have two dogs, two cats, and two bunnies. I collect kaleidoscopes and in my free time, I enjoy jogging and traveling. I am also active in my community as a sponsor of local soccer, baseball, basketball, football, and cheerleading teams. Sponsoring is my way to give back to the kids that help make my profession possible.

I graduated from the Dental Assisting Program at College of the Redwoods in 2017. Shortly after graduation, I started my dental career at a local dental clinic. After spending the majority of my life as a child in braces, I realized how much I loved orthodontics! So I decided to take the opportunity and make the switch to work for Dr. Enriquez.

Working with Dr. Enriquez has been the best decision I have ever made. He genuinely cares for his patients and treats everyone like family. Our team is full of highly trained individuals with the best hearts and they can always make someone feel comfortable and at home.

I currently reside in Fortuna with my husband (James), my daughter (Peyton) and my Yorkie (Bentley). We spend most of our weekends on our boat, and spending time at the lake with family and friends. I also enjoy doing at home projects, camping, fishing, and hunting.

As treatment coordinator there is nothing more fulfilling than being a part of each and every single one of our patients orthodontic journey. Not only do I work with an amazing staff, but also most importantly Dr. Enriquez. I truly believe in team work makes the dream work, and that is something I can say Humboldt Orthodontics stands by. I make it a goal of mine that every single patient that enters the consult room feels welcomed and informed with the various treatment options we have to offer.

I recently graduated from Humboldt State with a bachelor's degree in Sociology. With my degree, I am able to study human social relationships and institutions. That being said, I am currently working on my masters degree. Besides staying busy with both work and school, I enjoy listening to symphony, and Chopin music. I am truly fascinated with the history that is associated with this style of instrumental notes. I also enjoy long car rides with my two Siberian huskies, nothing beats riding through the redwood trees with my furpanions.

I graduated from the College of the Redwoods Dental assisting program in 2021 and shortly after, started my career in a general office. Working in a general setting was fast paced and I learned so much, but I knew my heart was here in orthodontics. I was a patient here at Humboldt Orthodontics and really enjoyed the duration of my treatment and the vibe of the office, so I feel blessed to be working here now. A few of my favorite parts about this job is the independence of working one on one with the patients and watching their confidence bloom as their smiles change! I really enjoy working for Humboldt Orthodontics because I am a part of a strong team that likes to have fun and push each other to be better everyday. And I definitely feel appreciated!Outside of work, I love to travel and bake sweets! If Im not traveling or baking Im probably at home snuggling with my husband, Julian and our cats, Indy and Scout while binge watching something on Netflix.

In my leisure time I often celebrate life! I love to share endless moments of laughter with my friends and family preferably over brunch. I also loves hikes with my Siberian huskies Loba and Sky. They keep me active and creative with their little mischievous personalities. I also really enjoy the art of landscaping since it gives me the opportunity to use my strong work ethic.

I graduated from the Dental Assisting Program at College of the Redwoods in 2021. Right after graduating, I began working here at Humboldt Orthodontics and have loved every bit of it. There are so many things to enjoy about working in orthodontics, but I think my favorite is watching the patients confidence grow with their smiles. I also enjoy helping my patients pick out fun new colors for their braces and creating unique patterns that they will love. I am very grateful to work with such a great team and could not picture myself anywhere else.

This is my fourth year working as the Records Assistant. This position has given me the opportunity to be the initial contact in the patients smile journey. My favorite part of what I do is watching the smile transformations! I also treasure the atmosphere of our whole office. Everyone enjoys what they do and it really shows.

Born and raised in Eureka, I enjoy outdoor activities like fishing, lake trips, and traveling to concerts. I value spending my free time with my husband, two beautiful daughters, two fur children (Chief & Moose) and of course, my family and friends.

After five years of being an RDA and working in general dentistry, I have taken the opportunity to pursue orthodontics. What I enjoy the most is watching patients smiles change throughout each phase of treatment and seeing their confidence build within themselves. I am grateful to be working with such a wonderful team.

I began my journey in the dental field in 2013. I started off as a records/lab tech in ortho while in school for dental hygiene at IWCC. I also attended Midlands University and University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry. I fell in love with orthodontics immediately, even while pursuing my journey managing general dental offices. I knew ortho is where my heart is, and I had the opportunity to move back to Humboldt from Fremont, Nebraska (GO BIG RED!).

It's great to be back helping patients achieve their orthodontic goals. I have had the pleasure of continuing education focused on Invisalign and attending several conferences to give the latest and greatest care when it comes to aligners. Dr. Enriquez is such a talented and caring doctor and it's great to see how excited his patients are when they finish treatment. I love working with a team that treats patients like family.

Ive had the pleasure of working at Humboldt Orthodontics for a little over three years as the Accounts Coordinator. My favorite part of my job is getting to know our patients. It is such a pleasure watching them grow and gain confidence as they go through treatment. I am grateful to be part of such a wonderful team.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my dog Pablo. My boyfriend and I rescued him from the shelter in June of 2021, and he's become my best friend. I also drive racecars locally in Eureka at Redwood Acres. I've been racing for a little over three years now and it's the most fun thing I've ever done. Most importantly, my number one priority is being with my family as i'm very family oriented. Overall, I am a very cheerful person and am always looking to have a good laugh and put a smile on everyone's face!
