Meet Our Orthodontic Team

I love all things sparkly and that includes those pearly whites!

I have been fascinated with the business of orthodontics for 24ish years (I think in a past life I was an orthodontist). The best part of my job is that I get to be a CSI Ortho agent and be solution-oriented.

I love helping parents figure out a way to procure Invisalign and or braces for their children that they otherwise thought was financially unattainable. Parents are heroes, and I love helping them to maintain/achieve that status in their children’s eyes!

I also get those same warm, sparkly feelings when helping our older kids (adults) into treatment and applaud them for taking care of themselves. I have three grown daughters who are in their 30s and four grandchildren who absolutely put the sparkle in my life. And because I want to be a hero to my grandchildren, I have now made it my mission to be the coolest g-ma ever. To achieve that status, I put life and limb in potential harm’s way by teaching them to snowboard, wakeboard, drive a wave runner (yes, it’s a scary thrill) and a quad (even scarier).

My personal motto is: Might as well be fabulous and fearless! Come to Dr. Borgen’s office and meet me, cuz a girl can never get enough sparkle!

I have been working in the orthodontic field as an assistant for the past 7 years. I get to help Dr. Borgen when you come in for your braces adjustments or Invisalign appointments.

My favorite part of working in ortho is getting to see how much a patient's smile changes from before to after treatment.

When not at work, I love spending time with my family, skiing, and walking.

I look forward to meeting you and helping in your journey to a new smile!

Looking back at school-age photos, one of my absolute favorites is my sophomore year when I had braces! My journey through orthodontics made such an impact on my life, it was only fitting that I made a career out of it.

I love being the first person our patients speak with when they call the office… helping new patients filled with all the questions that come along with beginning treatment, and helping current patients navigate seamlessly through to the end.

I’ve been blessed to have gone through orthodontic treatment myself, and my goal is to help others achieve that same experience.

When I’m not in the office, I’m spending my days chasing the sun or out on my property with my dog Jaxon in tow. Don’t tell my husband or my other two dogs that he’s my favorite!

I love orthodontics! I have been an orthodontic assistant for over a year and wouldn’t change a thing.

Dr. Borgen is fun to work for, and nothing feels better than being able to confidently recommend someone you work for to others interested in achieving their dream smile!

Orthodontics has been a rewarding career, and I love seeing patients become confident in their smiles.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and my pets. I also love shopping and watching comedy movies!

I can’t wait to meet you and help you on your path to your ideal smile!!

I love being a part of the team at Dr. Borgen’s office; the ladies are so fun and welcoming. It’s my pleasure to welcome patients to our office. I’m excited to see our patients' results each month and their beautiful smiles at the end of their treatment.
 
When I’m not at the office, I enjoy running, hiking, and exploring nature with my friends and family. I really like trying new foods; cooking is one of my passions, and I’m constantly looking for new recipes to try out.

My husband and I have been married for over 20 years, and we have two boys. My oldest is studying at the University of WA, and my youngest is in high school at Clackamas High. It’s important to me, when life gets busy, to remember to take time with the ones you love!!
