Caitlyn

About you:

I grew up here in Tacoma, with my parents and younger brother. I graduated from GHHS in 2013, Bloomfield College in Bloomfield, NJ in 2017 and had the opportunity to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I played volleyball starting in 5th grade and all the way through college with a scholarship. I met my husband, Josh, after college and we have our three-legged dog named Frankenstein.

What do you enjoy when you’re not at the office?

I love checking out the latest movie, hanging out with friends, playing with my dog or going to sporting events.

Why did you choose orthodontics?

When I had braces, it was a really positive experience- I adored the staff that took care of me. I want to help create the same special experience/bonds with our patients. Plus the chance to see the growth and smiles after braces are off is so rewarding!

What is one item on your bucket list?

I would love to learn American Sign Language.

Who is your hero?

My hero is my mom and aunt. They have really shaped me to become the woman I am today. I can always count on them and for their support in life.

What’s your spirit animal?

My spirit animal is a koala bear. They are cute, cuddly and love to take naps.
