Amber
orthodontic technician
Amber was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. She’s lived in Georgia and California. So, it’s safe to say that she is simply tolerating Colorado’s chilly weather. Amber has been straightening teeth for 25 years! But braces are not her only passion, she is also a dolphin expert. While living in St. Petersburg, she worked on a dolphin tour boat. She would suspend over 12 hours on the boat sharing her knowledge and love for dolphins. Since moving to Colorado, she enjoys spending time indoors with her three sons in the winter & hiking and swimming with them in the summer!
