Nancy
Practice Manager
I have been in the dental field for 26 years. I worked for a general dental practice in Bristol for the past 26 years before the doctor retired. Having to start over, after being in one place for all those years was a bit overwhelming, although I was super excited for the next chapter.
Taking my time in my search, I fell upon this beautiful jewel - Just 4 Kidz Dentistry. Dr. Celeste and her staff welcomed me to be part of their team, and I was honored. I hope with all my years of experience, I can answer any questions you may have. I plan on making the relationship between our patients and the front office a positive one.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two white German shepherd dogs, Zebb and Zephyr. I also love spending time with my family and friends. Taking cruises, spending time at the shore, and watching the NBA make me the happiest. Oh, and shopping!
Leah
Office Manager
I graduated from Western Connecticut State University with a B.A. in Chemistry and spent several years working as a chemist before discovering my passion for dental office management. With more than a decade of experience, I bring organization, compassion, and a personal touch to every family who visits our practice.
After working in larger corporate dental settings, I'm grateful to be part of a team that values individualized care and meaningful connections with both patients and staff.
When I’m not keeping the office running smoothly, you can find me spending time with my two cats, Loki and Goose, or playing video games with my husband.
Maria
Front Desk Coordinator
I have been a dental administrative assistant for over 20 years. I enjoy working in a pediatric office because the kids are so cute and always make me laugh with the funny things they say and do.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, as well as my cat, Dash.
Marisa
Dental Hygienist
I graduated from Tunxis Community College in 2017. In 2011, I started my journey in the dental field as an orthodontic assistant and have been working with children for many years.
Ensuring that every patient has a positive and relaxing experience during their dental visit is my top priority. I look forward to growing with each of my patients and individualizing oral health care education to their needs for a healthier brighter smile.
When I am away from the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dogs on our farm where we raise sheep, goats, pigs, turkeys, poultry, and a donkey!
Olivia
Dental Hygienist
I graduated from Lincoln College of New England in 2016. My passion has always been working with children. Before becoming a dental hygienist, I worked as a daycare teacher and as a nanny. I’m really excited to continue working with children as a pediatric dental hygienist with Dr. Celeste at Just 4 Kidz Dentistry.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending my free time outdoors as much as possible and going for walks with my fiancé, son, and golden retriever.
Patty
Dental Hygienist
I've worked as a hygienist for 30+ years and it gives me great pleasure to have children come to the office and leave with a greater knowledge of how to care for their teeth and keep their beautiful smiles for a lifetime. I especially like working with children with special needs. Having a child with special needs myself, I understand how scary it can be for them. I love it when they have a great visit and leave smiling! In my spare time I like to travel, hike, paddleboard, and crochet.
Christina

I graduated from Tunxis Community College in 2018 with an associate’s degree in Dental Hygiene. Since graduating, I’ve had the privilege to work as a pediatric dental hygienist and absolutely love it!
I love being able to help educate both the patients and their caregivers about the importance of oral health and to help them through any dental fears they may have during their visit. It’s my goal to meet each child’s oral health needs and to make their dental experience fun and enjoyable!
Outside of the office, I enjoy traveling near and far, spending time with family and friends, playing the piano, and practicing photography!
