Grand Junction Dental Team Dedicated To Making You Smile!

Hi, I’m Emily! I started with Ruby Canyon Dental in 2019 as a dental assistant. In 2021, I went to hygiene school and returned in 2024 as a registered dental hygienist.

I focus on preventive care and the connection between oral health and overall wellness. I’m dedicated to helping patients feel comfortable while supporting their health, and I really value creating a positive, patient-centered experience and building lasting relationships.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and my two dogs, being outdoors, and traveling whenever I can.

Hi, I’m Jordan! I’ve been a dental hygienist since 2018 and have been part of the Ruby Canyon Dental team ever since.

I’m very outgoing and always up for an adventure! Whether it’s snowboarding, skateboarding, or exploring the outdoors, I love staying active and spending time with my two amazing kids, who I adore. Family, fun, and making people smile—both in and out of the office—are what I’m all about.

Hi, I’m Madi! I first joined Ruby Canyon Dental in 2020 as a restorative assistant and later went back to school to become a hygienist. After graduating in 2024, I jumped back in full-time doing what I love—caring for smiles and connecting with people.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my fiancé and our beloved fur babies. I’m always up for an adventure—hiking 14’ers (which is how I celebrated my birthday this year!), scuba diving, and skiing are some of my favorite ways to explore and challenge myself. Whether I’m on the mountain, underwater, or just relaxing with my little family, I’m happiest when I’m making memories with the ones I love.

Hi, I’m Guadalupe! I joined Ruby Canyon Dental in 2024 after completing dental assisting school in Fortuna, California. I moved to Grand Junction over a year and a half ago with my fiancé, Max, who is currently attending CMU, and we’ve loved making this our new home.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, baking, and reading. For something a little more exciting, I also do aerial arts. I’m thrilled to be part of the Ruby Canyon team and love being able to help patients feel comfortable and cared for during their visits.

Hi, I’m Karina! I’ve been a part of the Ruby Canyon Dental team for over two years now, and from the very beginning, I knew that hygiene was where I was meant to be. One of my favorite things about my role is getting to work with all of our amazing providers—even in small ways—and learning something new from them every day.

Outside of work, my home feels like a mini zoo! My husband, Ian, and I have two dogs, a cat, four chickens, and a bearded dragon keeping us busy. We had some very exciting news—we welcomed our son into the world! He adds much-needed excitement and cuteness to all of the chaotic fun. When I’m not taking care of our critters, you’ll usually find me curled up with a good book—or working on writing one of my own! My husband and I write and publish books together, which has been such a rewarding journey.

Hi, I’m Kylie! I’ve been with Ruby Canyon Dental since 2023, and I work as a hygiene dental assistant. After more than 12 years of serving and 6 years of bartending, I was ready for a new path, and joining the Ruby Canyon team was the best decision I could have made.

I’m a mom to my 6-year-old daughter, Scarlett, and we share our home with three fur babies: Simba, our 8-year-old rough collie; Teddy, our playful golden retriever puppy; and Meiko, our 10-year-old cat. I’m originally from Las Vegas, so Colorado winters gave me a whole new love for snowboarding—I’ve been riding since I was 14 and still hit the slopes whenever I can. I also bartend weddings and businesses on weekends as a fun hobby, and my home is full of plants that my boyfriend mostly keeps alive while I enjoy their beauty!

With a background in competitive softball and studies at CMU, I bring a strong team spirit and dedication to patient care. Helping patients feel comfortable and supported during their visits is what I love most about my role.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me embracing adventure—whether it’s traveling to new places, enjoying the outdoors, or getting lost in music. I love playing the piano and attending concerts, where I can truly soak in the rhythm of life. At home, my heart belongs to my fiancé and my three furry companions—Dallas, Copper, and Kitty—who bring so much joy to my life.

Hi, I’m María! I’ve been a Dental Assistant at Ruby Canyon Dental for a few years, and my journey here has been nothing short of amazing. Moving to the U.S. 6 years ago, I embraced the challenge of starting my first professional role in dentistry—a field I’ve been passionate about since childhood. I love both the intense and artistic sides of dentistry, from surgical procedures to esthetic cases that bring out the beauty in a smile.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me exploring my passion for beauty—especially perfecting eyebrows! I’m currently working toward my esthetician license, with dreams of opening my own space in the future. I also love embracing the outdoors, with kayaking and camping becoming my newest hobbies. Most importantly, I cherish every moment spent with my husband, Carl, and our two adorable dogs, Lola and Michi.

Hi, I’m Sindy! I’ve been part of the Ruby Canyon Dental team since 2018, and I love every moment of helping patients feel comfortable and cared for. Originally from the beautiful landscapes of Guatemala, I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and became fluent in both English and Spanish. After completing my dental assisting studies, I found my home here at RCD, where I continue to grow and learn every day.

When I’m not in the clinic, I’m all about staying active and enjoying life. I love hitting the gym for a great workout, practicing my swing on the golf course, and spending time with my beloved cats. Fitness, fun, and furry friends keep me balanced and energized!

Hi, I’m Wyatt! I’ve been part of the Ruby Canyon Dental team for two years, starting in sterilization before transitioning into restorative dentistry. I love the hands-on work and the opportunity to continuously grow my skills while helping patients.

When I’m not assisting in the clinic, I’m out enjoying the things that bring me joy—hiking, gaming, and diving into Lord of the Rings. I also love spending time with my family and getting creative with Photoshop, adding a fun twist to special moments.

Hi, I’m Jen! I’ve been part of the Ruby Canyon Dental team for over 5 years, and my journey here has been one of passion, leadership, and growth. With a background in tech, medical administration, and global telecom management, I eventually found my true calling in dentistry—helping patients navigate their care and ensuring our team thrives. Starting as a Treatment Coordinator, I quickly fell in love with advocating for patients and fostering a strong office culture. Now, as the Practice Manager, my greatest joy comes from supporting our incredible team and driving our practice forward.

When I’m not at RCD, I’m all about making the most of life! Family time is everything to me, and I cherish every moment with my kids and my four lovable dogs—Bella, Peaches, Chiquita, and Buttons. I also love the outdoors, whether it’s fishing, kayaking, playing tennis, or soaking up live music. And when the weekend comes, you’ll find me embracing my “work hard, play hard” philosophy with social adventures!

Hi, I’m Molly! I’ve been part of the Ruby Canyon Dental team for 3 1/2 years, bringing over 12 years of experience in the dental field. Before moving to Colorado, I managed a dental practice on the East Coast, where I developed a deep understanding of both patient care and practice operations. Prior to that, my husband and I had an electrical business in the Denver area which gave me firsthand experience in running a small business and managing a team.

I absolutely love to travel, try new foods, and go camping—there’s nothing better than enjoying the great outdoors with friends, family, and the best dog in the world. Even though I’ve embraced Colorado living, one thing many people don’t know about me is that I’m originally from the East Coast. The beach will always be my happy place.
