Clinical Assistants
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.
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.
Velvet
Hi I’m Velvet and I am fairly new to the world of dentistry and particularly Orthodontics. I graduated from the Foleck Center Dental Assisting program in April of 2021.
Outside of working with an amazing team of women and 3 awesome doctors, you can find me curled up reading a good book, spending a lot of time with my sassy, diva 4 year old daughter, and cooking up new recipes. I am also into makeup and have a successful hair business that I do in my spare time. So, life is very full right now. I love to laugh, so you will usually find me cracking jokes in the office so others can laugh along with me.
Kayla
Hello it’s me Kayla. I want to share that my fascination with orthodontics goes back to 2013. While I appreciate the art of perfecting someone’s smile, getting to know my patients is by far my favorite part of assisting, along with building a strong relationship with co-workers and my doctors. Work is my ‘home away from home’ and I feel so lucky to work for and with such a talented group of people.
Away from work, I will be chasing my two little boys around, baking cakes, and occasionally exploring on great hiking trails. I can’t wait to meet your and your family!
Ashlynn
My name is Ashlynn and I joined the SSV team in July of 2021. I am originally from Greenville, NC, and recently relocated here to the beach. I have always had a love for orthodontics as I had braces as a young girl and the experience was memorable. I completed my dental assisting program and then was fortunate to be hired by such a great group of doctors. The team have made me feel welcome and I look forward to a long working relationship.
I have a sweet pup, Shyanne, who is the love of this girl’s life. I also enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family. I love being so close to the beach and so I am finding that living here is perfect for me.
Summer
Hello, my name is Summer and I have been with SSV since August of 2021. I am married and have two fur babies, Max & Shelby, who are truly my happy place. I love to shop, take my dogs to the park, enjoy home decorating and hanging out with friends.
The thing I most like about working here is my co-workers who are so helpful and really great to be around. I also enjoy the one on one time with my patients, and consider myself very lucky to work with and for such great doctors.
Amanda S.
My name is Amanda, and I was born and raised here in Virginia Beach. I am married with a precious daughter and I am also a dog mom of two pups. I enjoy spending time with my family, and love making people smile and laugh.
I am blessed to be a part of the SSV family. I have actually been in the dental industry for 11 years now, but this is my first time in orthodontics and I must admit that it has been a dream to become a part of this specialty field. It’s been a wonderful experience.
Takeyah
Hi my name is Takeyah, but most people call me TK. I am originally from Boston but grew up here in Virginia. I am married with a son and enjoy spending time with my family, making lifelong memories. I love the beach, and being active in my church. I love learning new things especially when it comes to science or dentistry.
I am a graduate of Virginia State University and have been in the dental field since 2014, and orthodontics since 2016. I am happy to be a part of the SSV team. I love assisting the doctors in creating a beautiful smile and helping to make my patients feel comfortable.
