Jennifer, CDA, Practice Administrator
I joined the practice in 1999. Starting as a sterilization tech, moving to dental assistant and business team and then progressing to office manager has allowed me to fully appreciate all aspects of patient care and team development. I have three children and three granddaughters. My son, Sean served in the Navy and is now in local law enforcement, my daughter, Alexis is a Registered Nurse and youngest son Shayne is a welder & commercial pool technician. I am proud to have earned a Fellowship in the American Academy of Dental Office Management, a national association of practice managers. I also assist Dr. Cohrn and the State disaster team as a forensic dental assistant.

I have been in dentistry since 1985 and started working with this practice in 2015. I help patients with the financial aspects of treatment. I love what I do and the interaction I have with all the patients. My hobbies include alligator hunting. fishing, boating, paddle boarding and frog gigging. Yes, it’s a bit unusual but I’m a country girl at heart. My husband, kids and grandchildren are my life.

Taylor, Business Team
I joined the Heritage Dental family in 2022 and I couldn’t be happier! I did not have a dental background, but I have learned so much about dentistry to be able to care and be there for all of our patients. I just recently got engaged and we are doing lots of wedding planning! I enjoy spending time with my 3 cats; Pumpkin, Finn, and Semi. I also enjoy traveling with my fiancé and doing photography!

I joined the dental field about 5 years ago and I absolutely love it! I enjoy and take pride in being a part of the patient experience and helping patients maintain their oral health by making sure they are comfortable and feel like royalty at every visit! Nothing is more satisfying than seeing a patient love their smile again! I am married to my wife Camila of 8 years and have 2 beautiful children. In our free time, we love to go to Disney and the beach.
