Lori

Account/Business Manager

Lori joined our team in 2020 and graduated from Foothill Jr. College in Los Altos, CA in 1988, with a certificate in Dental Assisting. She then got credentialed as a Registered and Certified Dental Assistant in the state of California. Because of her organizational skills and love for processing insurance, she quickly learned that the front office is where she belongs. In 1997, she and her family moved to Oregon.

She took a break from dental while her kids, Justin and Kirstin, were little. During that time, Lori did in-home daycare, worked at the preschool her kids attended and then trained to be a certified group fitness instructor. When her youngest was in full time school, she returned to dentistry. In fact, she was the Office Coordinator at her last office for nearly 14 years.

Her favorite part of the job, besides processing insurance, is the interaction between the patients and families. She enjoys getting to know people and working in a family-friendly environment. She strives to help patients understand their treatment needs and how they can make the most of their insurance benefits.

Lori moved to Dundee in 2022. She has 2 granddaughters with whom she loves to spend her free time. She also loves to watch HGTV, home decorate, garden or just hang out with her cat, Bear.

Being part of such a great team here at Hawaiian Smiles is such a pleasure.

Outside of work, Amy enjoys spending time with her Chihuaua, Rudy, friends, and family. Amy grew up on the coast, and takes many trips back to the beach to comb for treasures, but most of all, to see her dog Rudy enjoy it. Amy also enjoys running, hiking, eating healthy, watching movies, and reading true crime books.
