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.

 

Katelyn - Dental Assistant 

Hi! I'm a licensed dental assistant who graduated from Century College in 2025, and I joined the team in August of that same year. I quickly found how much I love working in orthodontics and being part of such a positive, patient-focused environment.

 

I enjoy connecting with patients of all ages, from kids to adults, and making sure everyone feels comfortable, welcomed, and cared for during their visits. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is being part of each patient's smile journey, watching their progress and seeing their confidence grow as they achieve their new smile.

 

I always try to bring a friendly, upbeat energy to the clinic and help create an experience where patients actually look forward to coming in. It means so much to support them every step of the way and celebrate those big smile moments together!

 

Outside of work, I'm currently planning my wedding with my fiancé, which has been such an exciting time in my life. I also love spending time outdoors whenever the weather allows, especially before snow returns!
