Meet Our Orthodontic Team – Allen, TX

Maria, Front Desk

Maria has well over a decade of experience in the world of dentistry, and all of those years have been right here with us! She grew up in McKinney and completed her studies at Texas Tech University. When asked about her favorite part of her job, she shared that it’s working with patients and seeing their amazing transformation and joy following their treatment.

With her husband of 34 years, Maria has two adult sons and one beautiful daughter-in-law. Some hobbies she enjoys include traveling, riding bikes, and learning Italian and American Sign Language. Here’s something you may not know about her: she worked on a recycling campaign to save the Battleship Texas.

Victoria, Director of Operations

Undergoing Invisalign treatment was actually what sparked Victoria’s interest in orthodontics in the first place! Today, she’s thrilled to be helping each appointment run smoothly at Richardson Orthodontics alongside Dr. Jones, Dr. Hanson, and the rest of the team. She attended Texas A&M University and is a first-generation graduate – gig ‘em, Aggies!

At home, Victoria and her husband Tomm have two dogs named Levi and Timber. Outside of working hours, you can typically find her bike riding, hiking, camping, visiting various state and national parks, and simply enjoying the outdoors. She also loves baking at home – she can make a mean chocolate chip cookie – and is currently practicing her embroidery.  

America, Registered Dental Assistant

A Dallas native, America studied at Brookhaven Community College and is certified in CPR and coronal polishing. Her career in dentistry spans a full decade so far! As part of Dr. Jones’ team, she’s thrilled to be able to help create lots of beautiful smiles for patients in need.

Outside of work, America enjoys spending quality time with her family, which includes her parents, sister, niece, nephews, and her dogs – a Maltipoo named Coco and a Peekapoo named Susy. Other hobbies include dabbling in arts and crafts, decorating her house, going out to eat, watching movies, and painting.

 Mary, Clinical Assistant

Mary has been working in the dental world for over seven years now, having spent most of her time in the orthodontic field specifically. A Dallas native, she studied at Carrington College. Even after all this time, she still looks forward to seeing our patients smile!

Away from work, Mary loves spending time with her siblings and her dog Lola. Some of her favorite hobbies include reading, doing crossword puzzles, and watching LOTS of shows and movies. She’s also passionate about participating in the Race for the Cure marathon each year.  

Angela, Treatment Coordinator

Angela may be relatively new to our team, but she is by no means new to the dental field - she has more than two full decades of experience! Throughout the years, she has handled scheduling, insurance, ordering, marketing, and much more. However, her favorite part is listening to and watching everyone on their smile journey.

In her free time, Angela enjoys spending time with her beautiful daughter, as well as her two pets, Prince and Lilly. Being outdoors, watching movies, and playing games are a few of her other pastimes. Here's something you may not know about her: she's an adrenaline junkie and loves rollercoasters and sky diving!

Of course, Breanna also enjoys her time away from the office. She especially likes spending it with her dog Moochi, whom she rescued when he was two months old. Otherwise, her hobbies include family activities, shopping, shirt-making, and traveling. Concerning that last interest, in fact, one goal she has is to travel to all 50 states!

Trina, Treatment Coordinator

Trina has been diligently working in the field of dentistry for about three decades and counting. As a native of Amarillo, she attended Amarillo College before gaining experience through on-the-job training. Her responsibilities involve helping the doctor by gathering patient information and organizing a treatment plan that can be easily presented to our patients. Her favorite thing is meeting new people and building a connection with them.

When she isn’t at work, Trina enjoys going to the beach or reading her favorite books. She’s also a foster mother at Take Me Home Rescue and loves spending quality time with her family and friends.

Isabel is still a bit new to our office but is already an asset to the team. Her education at Aspire Dental School gives her the skill to work in standard dentistry and orthodontics. Plus, she’s even earned a certification in nitrous oxide monitoring. That said, her passion helps her truly stand out – she loves making people love their new smiles!

A Dallas native, Isabel pursues many hobbies during her downtime. One example is spending time with her beloved six-year-old son and making memories with him. Others, meanwhile, include fantasy fiction (she loves Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon), creating game content, and discovering new music. You’ll also find that she likes to dye her hair.

With a couple of years and counting, Emily enjoys helping patients in the dental field.
