Jillian - Administrative Assistant

Hello everyone, I am one of the Administrative Assistants here at Valley Orthodontics. I have previous experience in Office Administration love the atmosphere of a close team. To ensure you have a great experience I will always make you feel welcomed into our office, which is what Dr. Maher and our entire team take pride in.

I am a people person so I enjoy chatting and getting to know all of you! I love seeing all of the beautiful smiles in our community and am thankful to be a part of such a great team!

On my weekends, I spend my time with my husband, my son and our two small dogs. We love to travel, whether it’s a weekend in Duluth, a road trip across the country or a flight to Alaska to see my in laws, the memories we create exploring new places is my favorite!

 

Jennaya - Administrative/Dental Assistant

Being welcomed into the Valley Orthodontics team has been such a joy. Dr. Maher and the VO family take such pride in community and giving back - one smile at a time.

I am passionate, caring, and have a deep rooted commitment to enhancing smiles and improving lives. I developed a fascination with the art and science of orthodontics, driven by the desire to help individuals achieve beautiful and healthy smiles. 

I love working directly with patients and really take to children of all ages. Helping people is my calling and I can't wait to meet any and all future patients. 

In my free time, I love watching my children's many sports, enjoying restaurants with my husband, and spending time with our family and friends! 

 

Ginene - Financial Coordinator

I joined Valley Orthodontics in May of 2023. You'll find me wearing a few different hats here--scheduling appointments, working with insurance and billing, handling treatment coordinator duties when needed, and helping our patients with any questions they may have. 

Although I hold a bachelor's degree in writing, I worked in public finance for many years in the Twin Cities metro area. I have lived in the Hudson for over twenty years, so it's nice to see so many familiar faces come in for Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Maher. 

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids, working with my dressage horses, taking photos and traveling. 

 

Kelsey - Treatment Coordinator

Hi!  I am the Treatment Coordinator here at Valley Orthodontics. I have been with the practice since 2024, and it’s been so fun to be a part of this close-knit, family-oriented team. My role involves helping our patients navigate the treatment process, from the initial consultation to ensuring they feel comfortable and confident throughout their entire journey with us.

I’m passionate about making sure each patient fully understands their treatment options and helping families choose the best plan for their needs.  I’m here to answer any questions you have and guide you every step of the way through your orthodontic experience!

When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors, traveling, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.   

 

Tylene - Dental Assistant

I'm thrilled to be a part of your dental journey here at Valley Orthodontics!  With nine years of experience as a Dental Assistant, I'm passionate about educating our patients on oral health and making every visit enjoyable. 

When I'm not here, I'm busy with my three kids and two dogs.  We love summer days filled with swimming, camping, and kayaking.  I also have a soft spot for decorating during the holidays - it's my guilty pleasure!

Valley Orthodontics feels like a second home, where we truly treat our patients like family.  I cherish the friendships I've built with both my coworkers and patients.  It's always fun, and I love hearing laughter in the office!

I'm excited to meet you and look forward to sharing smiles together!

 

Madyson - Dental Assistant

I’ve been a licensed dental assistant since 2024 and joined Valley Orthodontics in 2023. I love working with our team and patients.

Born with a cleft lip and palate, I know the importance of a confident smile. This drives my passion for helping patients on their orthodontic journey.

Seeing patients leave with a confident smile is the best part of my job!

Outside of work, I enjoy walks, time with loved ones, and crocheting.
