Hi, I am Katie, and I joined Champion Orthodontics in of March of 2020. I am a part of the administrative team and the scheduling coordination team for the practice. I have been in the dental field for over 12 years. I am so happy to have joined such a wonderful team here at Champion Orthodontics. I work with a group of strong and funny women who bring much joy to the day.

When I’m not here at the office, you will most likely find me with my husband, Sam, our son, Zachary, and our large extended families. Zachary keeps our lives busy as he is a very busy and curious 2 year old. My husband and I have just moved back to the valley after 10 years of living and working in the bay area. We are so blessed to be home with our families once again. I look forward to meeting all of our patients and helping assist in any way possible with their financial and orthodontic scheduling needs!

I work mostly behind the scenes at Champion Orthodontics. I do all the instrument sterilization, turn over the patient chairs and pretty much help out wherever I’m needed. I came to Champion Orthodontics with no dental background, but have quickly fell into place and learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of the Champion family!

When I am not at the office you can find me trying new recipes, spending time with my friends, family and cat “Gato”.

Hi! My name is Maria. I have been in the dental field since 2004 and am a licensed registered dental assistant. I joined the Champion team in 2015 after living away from Modesto for six years.

I feel so fortunate to be working with the great team we have here at Champion Orthodontics. I come in everyday knowing that our patients are getting the best care and their concerns are being addressed. The smiles are not only created by our very knowledgeable and experienced doctors but also by our staff whose goal is to put a smile on your face at every visit.

Outside of the office, I tend to stay busy with my husband, Jose, and our three little ones. We like to find family-friendly things to do. We spend time with family, go to the beach and, when time allows, just relax at home.

I have worked as an RDA in orthodontics for 20 years now. I joined this wonderful team in December 2021 but I feel like I have been a part of the Champion family for much longer than that. I truly appreciate working alongside all the other very knowledgeable orthodontic assistants in the clinic and just seeing the support. The good times we have together make every day so enjoyable. I love the fact that I get to assist our patients in the process of achieving their beautiful smiles.

In my free time, I enjoy being with my family. My husband and our two daughters love camping, boating or taking our SXS’s to the sand. We are also a soccer family so whether it is a practice or a game we spend quite a bit of time out on the field.

My name is Lisa. I have been in the dental field since 2001. I joined the Champion Team in March of 2023. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with. I look forward to getting to know the patients better as time goes by.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my daughter furthering my education. I’m currently studying for my science degree and plan to become a dental hygienist in the future.
