Meet the Team

Lea joined iSmile Orthodontics in 2024. She has 15 years of dental experience in both chairside and practice management. She is very excited to be back in ortho, after many years working in other dental specialties. Her favorite part of working at iSmile is getting to see all of the familiar faces walk through the door from the community!

Lea and her husband John live in Lino Lakes and have 2 daughters, Addison and Harper, and a silver lab named Quinn. When she is not at the office you will find Lea on a softball field or in a volleyball court cheering on her girls, or up in Brainerd at the cabin relaxing with family and friends.

Rhonda joined the iSmile team in 2020 coming to us with over 25 years of experience working in the medical field in customer service. She really enjoys getting to know the patients and watching as their smiles become more confident.

Rhonda is married to her husband, Ron, and between the two of them they have five adult children and five grandchildren. Fun fact, the other smiling face you see at the front desk is Rhonda's youngest daughter, Kelly. Rhonda enjoys tending her many flower gardens, fishing, and their nightly rides on their side by side with their Chocolate Lab, Abby.

Kelly joined the iSmile team in 2023; she brings with her, over 13 years of experience working in a clinical setting. She is always most excited to see how happy patients are when they finally get to see their new smiles.
