As the office manager for Twice as Nice Dental, I am responsible for making sure that everything runs smoothly so that Dr. Carter and our assistants can provide quality care for our patients. My main duties include scheduling patients, managing insurance billing and accounts, and making sure we do not run out of basic supplies like toilet paper! It is a challenging job but I enjoy the challenge. I enjoy being able to take care of our patients and helping them with their questions. I have the privilege of working with a truly talented and dedicated team, who make my job fun even on a tough day! My background is in horticulture. Prior to working at Twice as Nice dental, I worked for the University of Arkansas for many years as a research scientist. Following that, I worked for the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, TN, as their greenhouse manager. Managing a dental office is not that different from managing a greenhouse except that you don't get so dirty! I love keeping things organized. Dr. Carter and I have been married for almost 25 years and have two children, Luke and Edie. We are excited to be back in Texarkana where Dr. Carter grew up and to be able to give back to the community here. |

| I am a native of Massachusettes and I graduated from hygiene school there as the class representative. I moved to the Texarkana area in 2021. I enjoy seeing patients of all ages, as well as educating to improve overall oral health. When I am not at work, I spend my time with my 3 dogs, soaking up the sunshine. I am happy to be part of the team here at Twice as Nice Dental and excited to work in such a positive environment. |

| I was born and raised in Texarkana, Texas. My love for dentistry stemmed from the excitement of looking forward to every dental appointment as a young child. I completed my training at Texarkana College and I have been a registered dental assistant for over 14 years, with experience in several areas of dentistry. I work closely with Dr. Carter to prioritize the needs of our patients and take pride in making sure that they have excellent care. During my free time you will find me spending time with my family or working on DIY and craft projects. |
