Meet Our Vernal Team

I joined the Wright Ortho team right at the end of summer of 2022 and have loved working here. Not only is the staff I work with amazing but our patients are also all so fun to see when they come into the office. I have really enjoyed being a part of this work family. I have the best husband and two beautiful children who are my life! Outside the office, I enjoy camping and spending time with my family.

Karinda joined our team in 2018 and is one of the sweetest people you’ll meet. She always has a smile on her face. (You can even tell when you talk to her on the phone!). She’s a joy to be around and everyone loves her! In her free time she can be found spending time with her kids and grandchildren. She is their biggest fan and is always cheering them on in whatever they are doing. She also loves to golf and cruise around town in the classic cars her husband restores.

I love the people I work with! We have a fun time together, and it makes coming to work every day even better! I also love seeing the difference we can make in someone’s smile and how happy they are about it. Aside from work, I enjoy boating, camping, hunting and pretty much any outdoor activity. Spending time with family and friends is definitely what makes me happiest!

I love working in the dental field; I’ve worked three years in general dentistry and now orthodontics! I love knowing that I’ve been a part of making people feel more beautiful through their smile. I married my husband, Brady, in 2020, and we have a cute little cockapoo puppy that we adore. I love to travel, go to the beach, go boating with my family in the summer and snowmobile in the winter!

I love working here because the people I work with are great and I get to meet new people everyday.

I am so pleased to have been welcomed into the Wright Orthodontics Family! I married my high school sweetheart and together we share three energetic and beautiful boys. When I am not busy at the ball park or dropping a line fishing, you can find me in the lab at Wright’s. From the moment I stepped into the lab as a technician, I have been intrigued and have found that I love everything about working in it! We participate in 3D printing as well as create custom aligners and Indirect Bonding Models. I thoroughly enjoy what I do and am blessed to be able to work with such an amazing group of people!
