Shawna

Practice Resource Coordinator

I have been in dentistry for over 20 years. I grew up in Garland, Texas. Growing up I played soccer for Sting throughout high school and then went on to play soccer in college.

Here at myKIDSdds I am the PRC. What makes myKIDSdds so different is that our doctors treat each patient as if they were their own child and care deeply about not just their dental health but also their overall health. We are continuously focused on furthering our patient’s health education and looking for opportunities for growth and development for each of us as well.

When I’m not in the office I’m usually at home, it is my sanctuary. You can find me spending time gardening, cooking, watching sports and spending time with family in the outdoors.

My nametag is a chocolate brown Dachshund in honor of Hershey. He was my first “child” and will always have a special place in my heart.

Ellen

Patient Care Specialist

I was born and raised in Dallas where I graduated from high school for Health Professions.

I have three wonderful children and three adorable grandsons.

Something unique to myKIDSdds is the loving and fun atmosphere for children where relationships are built with each child.

On my days off you can find me spending time with my family and enjoying the outdoors.

My name tag is Elmo, he is my grandsons favorite character!

Katie

Patient Care Specialist

I am from Dallas, Texas and have a little pug named Phoebe. We also call her Piggy because she acts like a little Piglet and is very funny!

I love working at myKIDsdds because everyone has a great time here – children never want to leave!

I love to cook, garden and create beautiful flower arrangements. I also love traveling and camping in my trailer!

My name tag has flowers on it because flowers make people smile!

Lisa

Patient Care Specialist

I’m a native Texan, born in Dallas and raised in Garland. I have worked in dentistry for over 25 years, most of those spent working in Orthodontics, making myKIDSdds a great fit.

What I love about myKIDSdds is the relationships that are formed with patients, parents and among the team. The care that goes into each child’s visit is amazing.

When not at work I love spending my time gardening, scrap booking and shopping. I also enjoy traveling with my husband of almost 30 years.

My name tag is a sunflower because it is my favorite flower and always makes me smile.

Sue L.

Patient Care Specialist

I am originally from Wisconsin. Go Packers and yes, I like cheese. I came to Dallas the summer of 1995 to visit family friends and never left.

I am 1 of 8 children and have an identical twin sister.

My favorite thing about working at myKIDSdds is the patients. The kids are sweet, funny, curious and engaging.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my girls, extended family and friends, shopping, traveling and cooking.

Isabel

Patient Care Specialist

Hello! I was born, raised, and currently residing here in Dallas. I live with my wonderful husband Francisco (Navy Veteran) and our son Lorenzo, along with our dogs Dior and Buddy.

I love to cook! It brings back so many memories of my mom and me in the kitchen. I have taken the time to learn some of my husband’s family recipes as well. My other love is singing. I served at my home church as a part of the worship team, and it’s one of my favorite life experiences.

What I love most about working at myKIDSdds is the atmosphere and interacting with our wonderful patients! I love how we take care of every patient as though they’re family.

In my free time I’m either cooking or out at my husband’s family ranch with our horses spending time together as a family. We also travel throughout Texas on spontaneous adventures creating the best memories we can.

Jill

Registered Dental Hygienist

I am a native Dallasite and met my husband on the tennis courts of Baylor University. Our favorite/only daughter is a graduate of UT and has created her home in Austin.

My favorite aspect of working at myKIDSdds is the freedom to focus on relationship building. This supports me in taking time to get to know you and your child to meet your unique needs with an experience that is both positive and fun!

I also have a special interest in nutrition and fitness, therefore I am passionate about children’s overall health.”Walking the talk,” on my days off you will most likely find me in a yoga class, cycling or running around White Rock Lake… and eating a lot of salad!

My nametag is a hot air balloon to remind me to reach for the stars!

Marisa

Patient Care Specialist

Hiii! I’m Marisa and I’ve lived in the Dallas area my entire life. I love it here! I really don’t see myself moving anywhere else. I graduated in 2022 with a degree in Health Sciences. I wanted to be a Neonatal Nurse, but God had different plans for me. My mom has been in the dentistry field for over 20 years and has taught me everything I know! I am glad that I’m able to work with kids and enjoy them so much!

I love spending time with my family and boyfriend -Osiel. I always look forward to Sunday mornings because I get to go church and then watch F1 (Formula racing) with Osiel. My grandfather is a pastor here locally and it’s just amazing to see him do what God has called him to do.

I love working here at myKIDSdds because we genuinely care about YOU and YOUR child! A fun fact about me is I learned to drive with one foot, but somewhere along the way I started to drive with two feet and I even passed my driver's test using two feet! HAHA. Thank you for getting to know me, I can’t wait to meet you!

Pepper

Registered Dental Hygienist

I am a Dallas native raised in Lake Highlands, and I graduated from dental hygiene school in 2001.

I have worked for MyKidsDDS for the majority of my dental hygiene career because it feels like home. I love that everyone is positive and strives to make sure each child gets the quality care and attention he or she deserves.

Two things I love to do are travel and build things. Many of the desktop pictures you see in our consult rooms are from one of my vacations. I spent three years living in the Dominican Republic doing volunteer ministry work. So if you speak Spanish, please help me practice! Now that I’m home and residing in Richardson, I spend my free time doing projects around my house.

I chose a Dr. Pepper can as my name tag. No explanation necessary there!

Amanda W.

Registered Dental Hygienist

My name is Amanda and I am a native Texan. I grew up in Garland and now live in Melissa. I have a wonderful husband, David and 3 grown boys, Ryan, Chris and Brigham. Ryan works for Disney World, Chris works for Pepperidge Farm Cookies and Crackers and Brigham is in the United States Army. I also have a beautiful daughter in law, Kenya.

I have worked in the dental field for over 30 years. I began as an orthodontic assistant and later attended Texas Woman’s University for hygiene school. In my time away from work I enjoy cross-stitching and traveling with my husband.

I am so glad to have joined the myKIDSdds team back in 2017. We try to make each child feel comfortable while in the dental chair as well as excited about brushing their teeth. I treat each child laying in the chair as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting new patients and building a long relationship with not only the child but the parents as well.

Amanda C.

Registered Dental Assistant

I grew up in Dallas, Texas where I currently live with my husband Michael. I went to college at the University of Alabama where I received my degree in Kinesiology. Roll Tide!!!

I love working at myKIDSdds! MyKIDSdds is unique from any other dental office because of the family-like relationships between our team and our patients. We love our patients and genuinely care about their health.

Rescuing animals holds a big place in my heart. I have a very cute cat, Apricot, whom I found abandoned at a park in Alabama. I also have two gerbils, Po and Gus. And two stray cats I take care of which I named Mouse and Cricket.

Outside of work you will find me either painting, creating different types of artwork or working out. I love to push my body and mind to see how incredibly capable they are.

Melanie

Registered Dental Assistant

I am a native Austinite, born and raised and moved to Lubbock TX where I attended Texas Tech University. I met my now husband while in Lubbock and moved with him to Dallas when he graduated in 2015 and have been here ever since!

My favorite part about working at myKIDSdds is that there is never a dull moment! Everyone is happy to be here and we all have the same driven purpose to serve others and to treat our patients as our own family.
In my free time I love spending time with my husband, our 2 wonderful boys, James and Daniel, and playing with our rescue pup, Nala. I also enjoy crocheting, making felt toys for friends and family and learning new craft projects.

Amanda F.

Patient Care Specialist

Hi! I was born in Fort Worth, Texas. At the age of 10 my family relocated to California for a little while but ended up settling into Reno, Nevada. I moved back to Fort Worth when I was 16 years old. After becoming a mother, I decided that I wanted a change of scenery and moved out to Dallas.

When it comes to working at myKIDSdds, I love every part of being on this team. This office has opened their arms to me and taught me not only about dentistry but also more about who I am as a woman and mother. I love the fact that I can ask any question, and everyone is so willing to teach me and guide me. I also love working with and learning from each of the doctors.

Outside of the office I love to be in ministry by serving others. My heart has always been to serve others. I love to attend church and grow my relationship with the Lord. I also love teaching my son about the Lord and watching him grow up. I love being a mother most of all.

I’ve been working in orthodontics for 10 years and have been blessed to work at myKIDSdds for the past 4 years. Having such a great experience when I was in braces as a child is what made me want to work in orthodontics. I hope to give my patients the same great experience each and every day!

I really enjoy being in the orthodontic department because I love to see the transformations; beginning to end with braces which results in happy patients.

Outside of work, I like to hang with friends, find new places to eat and more importantly catch up on sleep.

Alex

Hola, I'm from Mexico City, Mexico. I arrived here at the age of 2. What brought my family to Dallas is that we already had family living here and decided to move to a place we would be comfortable.

My favorite thing about working at myKIDSdds is spending time with the kids. They always have the most interesting questions and are surprised at the answers they receive. They really are tiny geniuses!

When I’m not working, I’m hanging out with my daughter and my mom. We love to relax and watch movies or take walks in the evening. I love coloring so that’s one thing my daughter and I love to do together.

I moved from Shreveport, Louisiana to Dallas in 2016 and have loved every minute of living in the great state of Texas. I graduated from Louisiana Tech in Ruston with a Bachelors in Communications Design.

My favorite aspect of working at myKIDSdds is the amazing team. Let's just say they make my job easier. Marketing a team this dedicated to quality patient care is a dream.

I love spending time with my husband, our princess of a Schnauzer; Lola and our incredibly sweet Golden; Maverick. Most weekends you can find us outside playing with our dogs, hanging out with friends and family or enjoying live music somewhere.
