Chantra

Office Manager

I’m a Colorado native and a mom of two boys. I attended DeVry University to get my bachelor’s in business with a concentration on sales and marketing. While in school I realized I had interest in orthodontics and decided to pursue it, so I attended Pima Medical. With over 10 years of experience, being able to see the smile on patients’ faces once they are done with their treatment is the best result!

Being a mother of two boys keeps me occupied when I’m not at work. When I do get some free time, I enjoy going out eating and traveling. I love experiencing new things in life and I’ve traveled to many different places in the world. I hope that one day my boys can be able to experience other parts of the world and learn different cultures.

Now that I have joined Shine Orthodontics in Thornton, CO, I’m excited to grow as a practice and create new bonds with our patients.
