The Team

I graduated in 2006 from VSU as a Registered Dental Hygienist.  I am also certified in infection control and head up our OSHA Policies and Compliance.  I have been with Dr. Colvin as her Clinical Hygiene director since 2009.  I believe that what sets Nu-Smile apart is our unprecedented compassion for our patients.  Here at Nu-Smile I always strive to maintain an optimum level of professionalism.  We aim to make certain that each patient’s dental experience is pleasant and positive.  We all work for the same goal: seeing our patients SMILE!!  In my spare time, I enjoy attending church and spending time with my husband and our two children.  We are avid Valdosta Wildcat Football fans.  GO CATS!!

I am a graduate of VSU with a degree in dental hygiene since 2012.  I feel very blessed to be a part of such a wonderful practice here at Nu-Smile and with Dr. Colvin.  I personally take great pride in our patients oral health care.  From the moment a new patient comes into our office and watching their smile transform into one they have always imagined is truly a rewarding experience.  It not only changes that beautiful smile but also somehow changes their entire personality.  It seems that they glow from within.  Here at Nu-Smile, we are always seeking new ways to advance our knowledge with the latest technology available in modern dentistry.  When I’m not in the office taking care of our patients, you can find me spending time on the lake or the race track with my husband, our three year old son, and soon a new addition to the family.

I have been with Dr. Sherry Colvin for over 15 years.  Since starting work with her, I have been part of some amazing cases.  My whole life I have worked in the dental field.  I love it today just as much as the first day I began my career.  Although I have been semi-retired for the last 3 years, I still look forward to my time with Dr. Colvin and the team every Wednesday.  When not at work, you can usually find me and my husband down at our beach house.  We love it there and we usually have some, if not ALL of our 7 adorable grandchildren with us.

I originally am from Michigan and my father was in the military and was transferred to Valdosta when I was very young.  Growing up here in the South, I can say that I am truly a “Georgia peach”.  I graduated in 2012 from Wiregrass College with my degree in Expanded Function Certified Dental Assistant.  My rotations were done through Nu-Smile, and Dr. Colvin offered me a full time position upon graduation.  So here I am 4 years later, loving life and work!  I so enjoy working with the Nu-Smile team and Dr. Colvin.  Our ability to help people not only with their smiles but also with their overall health is very rewarding.  I am a people person, and I love getting to know my patients.  My goal is for each patient to leave with a smile on their face and improved oral wellness.  I am a newlywed of just 7 months, and life is great.  I love spending time with my husband and my two fur babies.

I have been in the field of dentistry since 2005.  I have worked essentially all over the dental office, from assistant, front desk/receptionist and now Insurance manager.  I love the dental field and cannot imagine any other profession for myself.  Working here at Nu-Smile, we as a team have “fun” while still maintaining a very professional environment.  I believe that is important because patients sense when everything is in harmony.  Outside of the office, I enjoy creating and making jewelry and spending time with my husband and son and our three dogs.
