Hello, my name is Juliette. I graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2021 with a bachelors in Community Health. I have been an Orthodontic Assistant since 2022. I started as a sterile tech and pushed my way through to become an orthodontic assistant within a few short months. From sterilization, to putting on braces, adjustments, making retainers, and taking braces off. I just about do it all. I fell in love with orthodontics since I was a little girl and heard the Mathieu click for the first time. I not only love orthodontics but I have love for my patients too. Their stories inspire me just as much as the work does. I’m excited to meet new aspiring assistants that I will not only teach you but also learn from as well. To meet so many and change so many's lives is truly amazing. I am so grateful for this avenue in my life, and I am overjoyed to share my skills and knowledge with you.
