Marlena
Hello! My name is Marlena. I was born and raised in Georgetown, Indiana. I now live in Louisville with my husband and two dogs, Kyra and Charlie. Kyra is a spunky husky that loves to bird watch and Charlie is a golden retriever that loves to snuggle and get loved on. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and camping. I graduated from the University of Louisville School of dentistry hygiene program in 2018. As a child I fell in love with dentistry and teeth when my hygienist let me “help” her clean my moms teeth. I enjoy getting to know each of my patients personally and learning how to best care for them.
Camillia
Hello, my name is Camillia and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist. I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. I graduated from the University of Louisville Dental Hygiene program in 2012. I’ve been fascinated with teeth since the age of 6. I am also a Hygienist on Smile Academy’s mobile dental school team. I enjoy journaling, exercising and listening to music.
Danielle
I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. I graduated from Medquest Dental Assisting Program in 2018. I am a mother of 4 beautiful children. The reason I pursued Dental Assisting is because I wanted to help people have a good experience at the dentist. In the past, I have had dental work done and know that dentistry can be frightening if you have had a bad experience. My goal is to keep your dental visits pleasant, painless and fun. I have a cat named Bella.Â
I love hiking, fishing, roller coasters, bungee jumping and binge watching Netflix. My favorite series so far is Sabrina. Â

Hi, I’m Camile!
I graduated from MedQuest College with my EDDA dental assistant diploma! I’m super excited to grow with the patients here as well as my team here at Smile Academy.
I love pretzels and chocolate… Really all types of snacks I just narrowed it down. I love music, traveling and I love meeting new people!
I’ve always thought about being a dental assistant and now I finally get to help change people’s smiles!!! Ahhh so satisfying…
