Clinical Assistants

Le’Shaunda

I began working with the practice in 2004 as a chairside assistant and am considered a senior assistant. I enjoy spending time with my two young boys Jahmeir and Bryant. I’m very active in both my son’s athletic activites. I love my job and enjoy the contact I have with patients. I’m honored to be a member of this team.

In my spare time I enjoy watching basketball, football, reading, traveling, attending concerts, and must admit I am a bit of a “foodie”!

Svetlana

My name is Svetlana, and I moved here from Russia in 2008. Being a part of the SSV team truly is a rewarding career. I get the opportunity to bring beautiful smiles to my patients which makes me very happy.

Virginia Beach is the place that I had the opportunity to meet my loving husband David. I am also the proud mom of two children, Sasha and Andrew, and our 2 “pet kids”, Marly and Samy. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, doing yoga, going to the beach, and living a healthy lifestyle which is an important part of my everyday life.

Britni

Hi! My name is Britni and I am originally from Eden, NC. I have been married to my amazing husband since 2008. We have two adorable children, Grey & Charlotte. I love to travel, try new foods and embrace my surroundings.

I have been in orthodontics since 2005, and joined this team in 2014. The SSV doctors and staff are one of a kind, and I treasure the relationships I have made here with all of the team.

Christine

Hello, I am a Virginia Beach local. I have been with SSV since the summer of 2014. I am blessed to be working with such talented and kind-spirited people. I enjoy all the interactions with the patients and being a part of their orthodontic journey.

I have a beautiful little girl, Natalie. I am also a “mommy” to a spunky cocker spaniel, Maybelline. I love spending time outdoors and enjoying all that Va. Beach has to offer.

Danielle

My name is Danielle and I am a proud mom to my beautiful daughter, Ashlynn. I was born in upstate NY but now reside in Moyock, NC. I served 6 years in the military and while I didn’t make that my career, I was proud to serve my country. I was hired by SSV in the spring of 2016, and I love being part of this fabulous office. Orthodontics is something that I really enjoy doing, and I love seeing the new smiles of all our patients.

In my spare time, I like cooking, camping, fishing, and four-wheeling, really anything outdoors.

Scotlyn

Hi, I’m Scotlyn and I relocated here from a small town in Georgia. I have three cats, who are my babies, Nikko, Sydney & Wednesday. I joined this wonderful practice in 2016, and I just love this field of dentistry. I am so excited about being part of such a professional, caring, and friendly team.

I enjoy spending time with friends, and must confess I am a bit of a gym junkie.

Amanda

Hi my name is Amanda and I became part of the SSV family in May of 2017. While I’m fairly new to the practice, I’m not new to orthodontics and have 2 years of previous experience. I am a native of Virginia Beach and love living here. I love being part of the SSV team and I am so grateful to work for such an awesome practice!

My free time is spent with my 2 year old son, Toree, and we love to go out exploring the world. I also enjoy reading, writing, spending time with the rest of my family and trying to keep up with my shows on Netflix.

Sarah

Hey, I’m Sarah. I was born and raised here in Virginia Beach. Spending time with family & friends is especially important to me. My pup, Lily, comes and goes with me everywhere. I enjoy music, art, and anything that will get me outdoors. I am beyond grateful to be a part of this special team of professionals. It is particularly exciting for me to watch our patients grow in confidence and leave our practice with such joy.

Kathy

I was born and raised in Suffolk, VA. Thanks to this wonderful team here at SSV, I have found my passion in orthodontics helping patients develop amazing smiles. I always hoped to find a career that would fullfill the saying, “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” I have certainly found this here at SSV, so when you see me pinching myself in the office, it is because I still can’t believe I am a part of such a fantastic work family.

When I am not here at the office loving life, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our adorable pup, Paisley. We enjoy going to the Outer Banks, taking our dog on new adventures or just whipping up a new creation in the kitchen together. Both of us are avid animal lovers.

Shannon

I joined the SSV team May of 2020 after relocating here from Florida with my husband and 2 beautiful daughters. I’ve worked in orthodontics for 13 years and I love getting to know my patients, learning about their lives and seeing the amazing smiles that our SSV team creates. I feel truly blessed to work with such incredible doctors, co-workers who I now consider friends. When I am not working you can catch me running after my very active girls, they keep me busy.
