Meet The Team

Shelby – Director of Operations

As the Director of Operations, I run the website, create content for our social media channels, coordinate our advertising and community involvement, and identify and promote what makes Omaha Orthodontics unique as an orthodontic office. I love what I do because I am able to interact with the patients as well as the entire staff to help create a fun atmosphere in our office.

I grew up here in Omaha, Nebraska, and attended Millard West High School. After graduating, I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and majored in Advertising and Public Relations. I graduated in 2017 with my bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communications. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, Lucas, and you can mostly find us on the golf course any day of the week. We also love traveling, trying out new restaurants, and hanging out with our energetic Australian Sheppard, Birdie.

I grew up in Fremont, Nebraska, at Woodcliff Lakes, and in the seventh grade, we moved to Omaha. I graduated high school from Millard West High in 2014.

Our team always goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a positive orthodontic experience and it is very rewarding to lead such a great team.

My husband, Carl, and I have three wonderful children that keep us busy with sporting events and school activities. I spend most of my free time with my family or volunteering at church and school functions, but I also enjoy cooking and reading.

Alexa – Clinical Assistant

As a Clinical Assistant at Omaha Orthodontics, I’m happy to be part of a team that enjoys sharing a fun, positive, caring atmosphere day after day. My favorite part of each day is seeing the amazing transformations in our patient’s teeth throughout their treatment. I believe you’re not fully dressed without a beautiful, proud smile so it’s rewarding to take part in helping make our patient's smiles their best accessory. My interest in working in the dental field began when I was younger, as I was experiencing changes in my smile from oral surgeries and braces. While I grew more confident in myself after my treatment, I was inspired to have a helping hand in others reaching their perfect smile, so they can gain that boost of confidence, too.

I’m from the small town of Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska, where I kept busy playing sports year-round including volleyball, basketball, and track. In my free time, I like heading back home to spend time with my wonderful friends and family, doing crafty DIY projects, or anything that involves traveling, outdoor activities, and country music concerts.
