Shanna

Business Team Member

My name is Shanna and I have been in the dental field since 2009. I previously worked in the hustle and bustle of the mortgage industry and after the bubble burst in 2007, I pursued a different career path.

Since being in the healthcare field, I can never imagine working anywhere else. I love the human connection that I get to experience every day and the relationships that come from working in a small private practice.

When I’m not busy working, I love to spend time with my husband Joel and our boys and our little Jack Russel, Emma. I love the outdoors, Camping, Barbequing or simply being lazy at the lake.

I love all things 80’s and country. I hope to one day cross a few things off my bucket list, which include a trip to Italy and Ireland and possibly one day retire in a quite southern state, complete with a big old house and wrap around porch!
