Our Office Staff
Brenda
Accounting
With a total of 40 years of experience in accounting and human resources, I joined the GS Dental team in 2016. We’re so much more than just a team, though; we’re family! Every day is a good day when I’m here.
I've been happily married for 50 years and am a proud parent of two grown children, two wonderful grandchildren, and one cherished great-grandchild. In my free time, I enjoy getting lost in a good book and channeling my creativity through painting. My community involvement takes me to church, where I find fulfillment in my faith and the sense of belonging to a larger, caring community.
Amanda
Practice Manager
I have the privilege of working closely with our patients to ensure they make the most of their insurance benefits, handling billing, managing appointments, answering phones, and ensuring our office is always well-stocked with supplies. What I truly cherish about my role is the profound connection I've developed with our patients. I've had the pleasure of meeting some of the most wonderful individuals, and there's nothing quite like helping them understand their treatment goals and working alongside them to achieve those aspirations.
I've been happily in love with my spouse for almost two decades. We share a passion for travel and the great outdoors, with our adorable "monster" dog, Kilo, who's always by our side during our adventures. He's not just a pet; he's family, and we adore him. I also find immense joy in the kitchen, indulging my love for cooking, and then cozying up at home for movie nights—it's the perfect way to unwind.
Brandy
Scheduling Coordinator
My journey in the dental field has been a dynamic one. It all began back in 2004 when I started as a dental assistant, honing my skills and passion for patient care. By 2006, I transitioned to the front desk, expanding my role to encompass answering phones, handling insurance matters, and efficiently scheduling our patients. In 2010, I had the privilege of stepping into a management position, further enhancing my ability to provide top-notch service.
Beyond my professional life, I'm proud to call New Mexico my home, and I share it with my amazing 14-year-old son, who's recently started high school. Together, we share a deep love for travel, seeking out adventures and experiences that broaden our horizons. When football season arrives, you can spot me cheering for my beloved team, the Las Vegas Raiders!
Lizbeth
Scheduling Coordinator
My daily tasks involve answering phones, arranging appointments, extending warm greetings to our valued patients, and ensuring that all their information is accurately logged into our systems. My responsibilities also include managing financial aspects like collecting payments. But beyond these tasks, what truly lights up my day is the opportunity to interact with and assist our patients. I find joy in helping them navigate their appointments and ensuring their experience with us is seamless and pleasant.
On a personal note, I'm proud to be bilingual, which allows me to connect with a diverse range of patients. When I'm not at work, you can often find me outdoors; whether it's swimming in the summer or simply soaking up the sun, I'm a true outdoor enthusiast. The greatest joy in my life, however, comes from spending quality time with my spouse, child, and our beloved dog.
Jill
Scheduling Coordinator
I began working in the dental field in 2004 at a dental supply company and moved into the dental office in 2009 right here at GS Dental. I enjoy working with our dedicated team and helping our wonderful patients.
Outside the office, my husband and I have two dogs and a cat. I'm an avid animal lover and in addition to our own fur babies, I help local shelters and rescues by fostering and donating when I can. I enjoy hiking with our dogs and participating in High Intensity Interval Training at the gym. I also enjoy travel and tennis and like to attend the US Open and other tennis tournaments throughout the year.
