2022 Outstanding Team Member of the Year
Jennifer
Front Office
Member Since 2020

Jennifer was born into a military family, so growing up her family wasn't defined by blood but by the relationships made along the way. Because of that, growing up she was always looking for ways to grow her little Washington family so joining Light Dental Studios was the best option for her! She has been with Light Dental Studios since February of 2020 and has always enjoyed coming to the dentist (even when it wasn't cool with her playground friends). Her heart has been invested in customer service since her first job at 19-years-old. To her, there's nothing better than seeing a patient leaving happy with a smile across their face.
Jennifer was raised in Tacoma 6th Ave, Washington, and that beautiful view you get while driving up 410 on a clear day became her favorite sight to see. She loves going on long drives, spending time with her loved ones, and will never turn down a game night. Live music is her personal form of therapy.

Hailey grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington and is a true Pacific Northwest native. After spending years working for and supporting her family's business, she has decided to branch out on her own to see what possibilities await her.

Hailey is so excited to be a part of the Light Dental Studios family to help ensure that our patients leave feeling heard, cared for, and happy. She knows and appreciates that each individual has their own needs and expectations and looks forward to putting as many smiles on as many faces as she can.
During her off times, she enjoys spending time with her family, including her fiancé and the other love of her life Turf, her sweet doggy. She also considers herself a foodie that loves to get out and try new foods as much as she can. Hailey looks forward to meeting you, and making sure you leave with a smile on your face!
