Ashley

Hi, I am Ashley. I am 20 years old and I live in Claremore. I went to high school in Foyil. And after High School I went on to college in Tulsa at Community Care College.. And that's where I became a dental assistant. I have always known that I wanted to do orthodontics since I was a patient at the brace place. I loved the staff and the friendly atmosphere. They were not just my orthodontist they were more like my family. But my job isn't the only thing I like to do I also love the outdoors and hanging out with my Friends and Family.
