I’ve worked with Dr. Barlow since 2004, having started in the field in 1983. We have an awesome team: all striving for excellence and providing the best experience and results for our patients. I run the office, and oversee everything from patient accounts and insurance to staff management, and whatever is needed to keep things moving smoothly. Outside the office, I love to craft, travel, and spending time with my family

I joined the Barlow Team in 2020 and I feel like I am home. I enjoy making the patients feel welcomed and comfortable during their journey to the perfect smile. The most important aspect of my job is making sure our patients and their families feel like they are part of our family. I enjoy gaming, painting, being outdoors, and shopping, but most importantly, spending time with my son, Kai.

I am new to the dental field but was introduced to it a long time ago by my Aunt, a dental assistant, who inspired me to join the this field. I love that I’m able to be a part of transforming patient’s smiles! Working at Barlow and Benfield Orthodontics feels like working with one big family! I’ve lived in Florida my whole life.

I began my journey with Barlow & Benfield Orthodontics shortly after moving here during the summer of 2022. I previously worked as an orthodontic assistant for nearly 7 years. I love being able to bring my knowledge from the clinical perspective and apply it to helping patients on the administrative side. Making patients feel comfortable and being able to bring a smile to their faces is truly the best part of my day. When I’m not at the office I enjoy watching Netflix, laughing, and hanging out with my husband and puppy.

I’ve worked with Dr. Barlow and this incredible team since 2008. Everyone is good-hearted and dedicated to caring for our patients and the community!

Outside of work, my passion is rescuing and fostering senior dogs and cats. I also treasure being with my three amazing daughters, who’ve blessed me with nine perfect grandchildren!

I assist Dr. Barlow with patient care and procedures. My time off is spent with my three daughters. We enjoy going to the theme parks and the beach. I love to travel and hope to do more of it in the future. I also enjoy reading and crafting.

My dental career started in 2018 and I joined Dr. Barlow’s team in 2019. I always knew I wanted a rewarding job and a job that didn’t feel like work; being a part of Barlow Ortho is just that. At Barlow Ortho we have a tradition of “ringing the bell” for every patient who has finished treatment and there is nothing more exciting than getting to cheer on our patients as they ring the bell with such happy smiles! When I am not working, you can find me in my hometown of Alabama with my family, at the beach or on the boat with my husband and our chocolate lab.

I was born and raised on the Space coast. I started my dental career in 2011 working in General Dentistry. I decided to take a break and stay home with my 3 children for 7 years. When Dr. Barlow and Dr. Benfield hired me, it gave me the opportunity to work part time and still have time with my kids. Working with this team is amazing. The whole team is so respectful and nice. I love how the office is so organized down to the very last detail. It is truly amazing working with this team.

I joined the Barlow team this year in 2022 but was a patient long before that. Getting to work with the people that gave me my smile is a full circle moment for me! I love coming to work every day. I feel like I can really relate with the patients because I was one of them too. I’m originally from Central Florida but spent some time living in Savannah, Georgia. When I’m not working, I’m hanging out with my dog, Banjo or at the gym! I love taking various group fitness classes in our community.
