Meet the Team

Our Team


 

My passion for dentistry began at just 18 years old when I started my career as a dental assistant. I continued working as an assistant while earning my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from the University of New England, where I also completed a minor in Integrated Health Sciences. The combination of hands-on clinical experience and higher education has given me a strong foundation in patient care and a genuine passion for helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles.

I joined Highland Family Dental in 2011 when the practice had just one hygienist, and it has been an incredible experience watching it grow into the thriving practice it is today. I love building lasting relationships with my patients and creating a comfortable, welcoming environment where they feel cared for like family. Outside the office, life is happily busy with my husband, our son and daughter, and our dog and cat. When I can find a little free time, you’ll usually find me tending to my flower gardens and enjoying the outdoors.

Caitlin

Dental Hygienist RDH

I began my career in dentistry when I was a junior in high school working at the front desk of a dental office and then assisting during my breaks from hygiene school. I earned my Associate’s degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of New England in 2004 and continued on for another year to earn my Bachelor’s degree. I joined Highland Family Dental in 2016 and value our close knit team. I love the relationships that I have formed with my patients, and I truly enjoy seeing them return for their hygiene visits time after time.

My husband and I have a fifteen year old son and a 10 year old daughter. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family. You can usually find me researching our next activity or adventure!

Jen

Dental Hygienist RDH

I graduated from Middlesex Community College in 2010 with a degree in Dental Hygiene and joined the Highland Family Dental team in 2025. I am passionate about the connection between oral health, systemic health, and airway health. My goal is to provide comprehensive care by assessing each patient during their routine visits and educating them on how we can work together to restore healthy function and improve their overall well-being.

I believe that patient education is one of the most valuable parts of my role and enjoy helping patients better understand how breathing, sleep, and oral health are all interconnected. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending quality time outdoors with my husband, Andrew, and our daughter, Mia. I also love gardening, practicing hot yoga, and making memories with family and friends.

Jocelyn

Dental Hygienist RDH

I started my dental career in high school working as a dental assistant. After many years of dentistry, I decided to pursue my love of science and helping people and I went to nursing school. Although working as a nurse was very rewarding, I missed the detail oriented world of dentistry and decided to go back to school for dental hygiene.

Here I am, 26 years later and I still love my job! I enjoy building relationships with my patients, and watching them overcome their dental anxiety and improve their oral health!

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my two children and two grandchildren who are my world. I also love all things crafty and never miss an opportunity to take a trip to Disney world!

Jules

Certified Dental Assistant CDA

I began my career in dentistry as a dental assistant, where I developed a passion for helping patients feel comfortable and cared for. Over the years, I expanded my role into dental insurance management, gaining extensive experience in helping patients understand their benefits and making the financial side of dental care as smooth as possible. Today, as the Office Manager, I enjoy supporting both our patients and our team while helping our practice provide exceptional care.

Outside of the office, I'm happily married and blessed with two married daughters and three wonderful grandchildren who bring so much joy to my life. In my free time, I love gardening, cooking outdoors, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to welcoming you to our office as part of our family and help make your dental experience a positive one.

Paula

Office Manager and Patient Care Coordinator

I graduated from Northern Essex Community College in 2011 with my Associate's degree and earned my Dental Assistant Certification through DANB. Since then, I've been fortunate to build a career in dentistry that I truly enjoy. While I love working chair-side with the doctor and helping patients feel comfortable during their visits, I also enjoy working at the front desk and tackling the challenge of navigating dental insurance to help our patients make the most of their benefits.

When I'm not at the office, you'll usually find me spending time with my two kids, Nora and Grayson. I love staying active through hot yoga and recently completed my Yoga Teacher Training (YTT). Whether I'm hiking, camping, or looking for our next adventure, I enjoy making the most of my time outdoors and creating lasting memories with my family.

Kate

Front Office and Dental Insurance Coordinator

After careers in the Cosmetology and Hospitality industries, I decided I needed a change to provide a more fulfilled work/life balance for myself. I graduated in 2008 from NECC’s Dental Assisting Program. Since then I have filled many positions in the dental office. I enjoy both the clinical and administrative responsibilities that keep the office running smoothly and efficiently. I love being the first face the patients see entering the office for their appointments, welcoming and greeting them with a smile. Joining the Highland Family Dental team has been one of the best life decisions I’ve ever made. I truly love my job, so that smile is always genuine. Outside of work I am a wife and a Mom to two girls. We love traveling to Walt Disney World, spending time at our family’s lake house, camping and having game nights with friends.
