I started my dental career in 2021, working at an endodontist office and enjoy the opportunities for education and growth that the dental field can provide! I obtained my Medical Interpretation Certificate from Manchester Community College in 2013. I have history as an LNA, reception for many years and am an experienced interpreter. I was born in Mexico, moved to the United States when I was three and am fluent in Spanish.

My husband and I have been together since 2008 and we have three beautiful children – Alexa, Daleyza and Andre. Florida is a favorite family vacation spot, we also love to travel to Texas to visit family, enjoy dinner at the Olive Garden and snuggling our 1-year-old chihuahua, Oreo.

 

​Shirley

Treatment Coordinator

My journey in dentistry has beendiverse, having worked in both general practice and periodontal specialty offices over the last 24 years. My roles have spanned from administrative duties to office management and I’m excited to continue my dental career at Hooksett Family Dental as the treatment coordinator!

Outside of dental, I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. When I’m not busy caring for patients, I enjoy leading a healthy and active lifestyle, going to the gym, gardening and using my plants in my cooking. I’m from the Monadnock region originally, residing in Concord and have two kids, Bryce and Parker.

I’m excited to be a part of the Hooksett Family Dental team, utilizing up to date technology and constantly learning new and better ways to perform dentistry and provide awesome patient care. Come say hi to me at the front desk!

I graduated from the University of Maine in 2019 with my Bachelors of Science Degree in Child Development with a minor in Education. I was a preschool teacher shortly after graduating and loved being around children but was not getting the job satisfaction I desired, which led me to explore other career paths. I graduated from Northeast Collaborative School of Dental Assisting in December 2021 and have enjoyed working in the dental field, learning new things and helping people. I assisted at a general practice after graduating until the dentist retired and was happy to find Hooksett Family Dental soon after.

In my free time, I love to be outdoors, hiking with my Australian Cattle Dog, snuggling by the fire with my bunny and Tabby cat, and spending time with my family and friends. I love helping people and brightening their day any way that I can!

I attended Delaware Technical and Community College for my associate’s degree and Northern Arizona University for my Bachelor of Science. With more than 20 years of experience, most of them at this office, I have come to realize that education is the best way to help patients keep their teeth and gums healthy. It is so rewarding to see the results of their efforts! The Hooksett Family Dental team provides excellent dental services to our patients. We want all of our patients to have an incredibly positive dental experience.

I am a resident of Hooksett. In addition to my work in the office, I also offer oral health presentations for Children’s Dental Health Month. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis and going to the beach. I am a proud veteran of the US Air Force.

I attended New Hampshire's Technical Institute and graduated in 2021 with my associate's degree in Dental Hygiene. I'm very passionate in educating and motivating my patients to improve their oral health. Keeping a positive, comfortable, and communicative environment for my patients is something I strive for. The team at Hooksett Family Dental provides excellent care for each patient of the practice and I'm so honored to be a part of this experience; I feel so lucky to be a part of such a great team!

I grew up in Hooksett and remain a current Hooksett resident. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, head to the lake with my golden retriever, Holly and snuggle up to my cat Cheddar.
