Job Titles:
- Patient Coordinator / Treatment Coordinator
My name is Hannah and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the world! I was born and raised in a small town called Shelby, North Carolina (home of the BEST barbeque and sweet tea!)
All my life I knew I would live at the beach one day. At age 18 I moved to the East Coast to attend East Carolina University, where I spent a year and a half on my prerequisites before meeting the love of my life and relocating to Virginia Beach together. Once established in the Hampton Roads area, I graduated with a certificate in dental assisting and started my career in dentistry. Since then, I have fallen in love with Dentistry, the TCCRD team, and all our patients! They say, "When you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life." I truly enjoy being a part of our patient's dental transformations. I take so much pride in playing a role in something as life changing as a smile makeover and giving someone the newfound confidence that comes with having a healthy, attractive smile.
