Front Desk
Jennifer – Office Manager
I have been the office manager for North Creek Dental Care for the past 16 years. My husband Jeff and I have two sons, Jeremy and Jacob. I grew up in Lockport and attended Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox. In my free time, I enjoy playing golf and tennis and spend as much time as possible in Arizona. I love helping our patients and seeing their smiles! I feel especially proud when I help someone who comes in scared and in pain and see them leave happy and pain-free!
Jennifer – Smile Coordinator
Originally from Palatine, I’ve called the south suburbs home for the past decade. I’m the proud mom of two active sons, and when I’m not keeping up with them you can usually find me with a good book or a sewing project. I love being part of the team at North Creek Dental Care because of our supportive, collaborative culture and our shared commitment to providing compassionate, top-quality patient care.
Kenia – Insurance Coordinator
I grew up right here in the south suburbs of Chicago. I’m fluent in Spanish. I’m a mom who thrives on staying active, trying new recipes, and making memories. Whether I’m at the gym or discovering a new local restaurant, I’m happiest enjoying life’s simple moments. That same positive energy carries over to my work at North Creek Dental, where I love collaborating with a fun, supportive team that always puts our patients first.

Not only am I part of the administration team here, but I am also a lifelong patient! I attended Carl Sandburg High School and Illinois State University. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, particularly my crazy-adorable nephews and nieces. To relax, I love to read, play video games, and hang out with my pets. What I love most about working at North Creek Dental Care is spending time with the dental care team, and how we work together to ensure the best care for our patients. It truly does feel like an extended family.

Hi! I’m a Social Sciences student who grew up in both Wisconsin and Indiana and enjoys learning about people and what shapes our communities.

I’m always excited to learn, grow, and connect with new people.

Lauri – Hygienist
I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist since 1998, when I graduated with a degree in dental hygiene from Prairie State College. I also obtained a multi-disciplinary Certificate in Geriatrics from UIC College of Medicine, which helps me serve our senior patients better. Continuing education classes keep me up to date on new developments in dentistry. My interests include weightlifting, concerts, cars, hiking, and road trips in my free time. Also very important to me is spending time growing closer to God, family, and friends. I strive to treat all my patients with attention to detail and the highest gentle, compassionate-care level.

I have been in the dental field for a decade, starting as a dental assistant and progressing through roles as an insurance coordinator and office manager.

Outside of work, I am a proud mother to my 10-year-old daughter and a four-year-old Pomeranian. My favorite food is Chicken Alfredo.
I love being part of the North Creek Dental Care team, which prioritizes patient care and supports each other.
