Heather – Registered Dental Assistant

Heather’s dental career began in Washington DC in 2000 before she moved to the greatest city in the states, Austin, in 2008.

Heather explains, “One of things I enjoy the most about working at Austin Dental Spa is the family friendly atmosphere we have here – not only among ourselves, but with our patients as well. Our patients’ comfort is top priority and I think that becomes apparent as soon as you walk through the door.”

When Heather is not working at her favorite dental office in Austin, she runs a photography company. When she doesn’t have a camera in hand, you’ll typically find her enjoying a plethora of activities, such as mountain biking, kayaking, and hiking…though she often has a camera in hand while doing these too!

Jenny – Registered Dental Assistant


Jenny has been with ADS since December 2017. She was born and raised in Indiana, where she started her career in dentistry over 20 years ago. She loves dentistry, seeing our awesome patients, and catching up with them while they are here. But her favorite part of the job is seeing the joy on a patient’s face when they love their smile.

Jenny moved to Austin in 2010 and absolutely loves Texas. One of her favorite places is Big Bend National Park out in West Texas. She and her boyfriend try to visit the park to go camping and hiking a couple times a year. She loves being outside, but also really enjoys snuggling up on the couch with her crazy cat, Spazzy.

Armed with a bachelor’s degree from UT Austin and an MBA from St. Edward’s University, she built a solid 25+ year career in finance, human resources, and benefits administration before joining Austin Dental Spa.

When Kimberly isn’t number-crunching, she enjoys country dancing, collecting Southwestern art, and spending time with her family at their Llano, TX ranch. She also is passionate about raising her lively and intelligent Vizsla dogs.

Sabrina – Hygiene Coordinator

Sabrina
Born and raised nearby in San Antonio, Texas, Austin Dental Spa Hygiene Coordinator Sabrina is a valuable addition to the team. After graduating high school early at age 17, she became a Certified Medical Assistant and applied her passion to Pediatrics and Nephrology. In 2023, Sabrina received an opportunity to shift into the dental field and has been loving it ever since!

In the office, you’ll find Sabrina hard at work, finding a sense of purpose through helping people and building relationships with patients. You’ll also find her singing and bringing a positive vibe to the practice.

Outside of work, the two most important things in Sabrina’s life are family and faith. On a day off, you’re bound to find her doing one of two things; spending time with her wonderful husband and two beautiful children, or attending church and church activities. Sabrina is excited to continue learning about the dental field while utilizing her skills as a medical assistant.

Stephanie – Financial Coordinator


Stephanie is the financial coordinator at Austin Dental Spa and has been in the dental field since 2013. She feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in both the back office as a dental assistant and multiple positions in the front office, which gave her “a great perspective” of the dental world.

Stephanie moved to Austin four years ago from her hometown of Conroe, TX, and quickly found her new dental home at Austin Dental Spa. In her free time, you’ll likely catch Stephanie somewhere outdoors – whether it’s a new camping spot, hiking, or enjoying some of Austin’s live music scene. Stephanie loves meeting new people and looks forward to building many new patient relationships at Austin Dental Spa!

Patients can have a lot of anxiety coming to the dental office, and Suezette wants to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. “Helping patients love their smile again is a wonderful feeling,” she says. “I truly believe that a healthy, beautiful smile boosts one’s confidence and can change both their personal and professional life.”
