Taylor
Administrative Coordinator
“ Hi, I’m Taylor! I was born in Nacogdoches, Texas, and have been in the Austin area for 10 years.
I have two rescue dogs, Noodle and Max! We enjoy going on walks, napping, or watching Netflix snuggled up on the couch. My hobbies include working out, reading books, cross-stitching, and telling silly jokes to make people laugh.
I enjoy working in patient care because I get the opportunity to make someone’s day a little bit better. Sometimes the smallest kind gesture can make the biggest difference in someone’s day. I am honored to be able to be a part of that.
My favorite quote is from Les Brown – “Every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact. “”
Carrie
Orthodontic Assistant
“Hi, I’m Carrie! I was born in Temple, Texas, and around age 10, my family settled in Belton, Texas. I’m married with 4 wonderful children and 4 dogs! I really enjoy the outdoors.
I can be found on the soccer field or volleyball court with my family in my spare time. My favorite part of working in the dental field is when a patient feels comfortable and relaxed in my chair. Getting braces or Invisalign is such an exciting experience, and I love providing that to each person that walks in the door!”
Tihna
Orthodontic Assistant
“Hi, I’m Tihna! I’m originally from Boston. However, after 10+ years, I have been grandfathered in as a Texan!!!
I’ve been an orthodontic assistant for about 7 and a half years now. I really enjoy getting to know our patients and livening up their appointments. I have a daughter who is the sweetest, sassiest nugget, and she fills my life with lots of love, laughter, and dirty laundry.
We both enjoy tutus, dancing, and interior design. When we grow up, we want to be mermaid princesses.”
Chelsea
Director of Operations And Treatment Coordinator
“Hi, I’m Chelsea! I was born and raised in the Austin area. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and hitting the nearby trails with my Aussie! I’ve worked alongside Dr. Ryan from the day Pendleton Ortho opened its doors, and I’m happy to have met so many wonderful people along the way! What I love most about coming to work each day is the family-feel of our office and our awesome patients! Come check us out! I can’t wait to meet you!”
