Amy
Amy has worked side by side with Dr. Laura for over five years. She is our Office Manager, and you might remember her from your fist visit to Lineberry Orthodontics as she is also our Treatment Coordinator!
Amy grew up in the postage-stamp-sized town of Hagerman, Idaho. After graduation, she went to U of I (Go Vandals!) for a couple of years but eventually graduated from BSU with a degree in Social Science and Public Affairs. She has two beautiful grown up daughters, Mariah and Miranda.
Amy's hobbies include camping, rafting, and anything that involves water! In the wintertime, she loves to strap on the snowshoes and trek to an Idaho hot spring to soak. She's far from being a vegetarian, as her favorite food is definitely beef. So much so that Amy doesn't cook a turkey on Thanksgiving. It's prime rib for dinner!
Her favorite vacation spot is the Caribbean side of Mexico, as she loves to Scuba dive. Go figure...it involves water! When asked what her favorite part about working at Lineberry Ortho is, Amy was quick to reply "working for an amazing boss and we have a fun staff and fabulous patients!"
Chelse
You might recognize Chelse's smiling face as she's the first person you'll greet when you walk through our doors! Chelse has been our Scheduling Coordinator for nearly three years. We love having her fun and bubbly personality at the front desk. Her laugh is certainly contagious! Chelse is from Hailey, Idaho and graduated from Wood River High School in 2002. She went to Carrington College for Dental Assisting School and graduated from there with a 4.0 in 2012.
Chelse's favorite part about working for Dr. Laura is that her fellow teammates are great to work with, and she feels our patients are amazing! She loves to get to know all of the families that come to us for beautiful smiles.
Her hobbies include playing volleyball and cooking. She loves to cook all foods, but Thai is her favorite. She's a little OCD when it comes to cooking because when she dices ingredients, they all have to be the same size!
Chelse loves cats so much her friends say she has the "Crazy Cat Lady Starter Kit", as she has 3 cats and is always looking for more. Chelse's favorite color is purple. We're hoping she dyes one of her cats purple like The Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland!
Diane
Diane is our California Girl! Diane was raised in Solvang, CA and graduated from Santa Ynez Valley High School. She went to Southern California School of Dental Assisting and has over 44 years of experience as an Orthodontic Assistant!
Diane's husband, Jim, is retired. We love Jim as he often sends in crockpots full of yummy soup for the entire staff! Diane also has two grown boys, James and Chuck, and two beautiful granddaughters. When she's not at work, she's decorating cakes, gardening (she often brings her garden treats to the office to share), or doing craft projects with her granddaughters. She also loves to camp and hang out with the hubby.
Diane's favorite spot to vacation is anywhere warm and coastal. She loves, loves, loves the ocean because of the sight, sound, smell and warmth on her face! Perhaps it's because her ancestors were surrounded by water as she's half Portuguese and half English. Interestingly though, the town she grew up in is a Danish tourist town that has an annual Danish celebration. Her mom once dressed her and her sisters up in Danish costumes. They looked so "Danish" their photos were taken and sold as a Solvang picture packet for tourists!
Diane's favorite part about working at Lineberry Orthodontics is that she loves being a part of creating beautiful smiles and the joy that she helps to bring people in doing just that. She loves the atmosphere and the fantastic people that she works with so much at Lineberry Ortho that she promises to never ever retire. Never.
Kelli
Kelli grew up in Great Falls, Montana. She went to Spokane Community College for Dental Assisting School after graduating from Great Falls High School. She loves living in Meridian and is engaged to a great guy named Mike, and looks forward to soon being official stepmom to Mike's son Kaden.
Kelli has over 17 years experience working as an orthodontic assistant. She loves Debond Day as her greatest reward as an orthodontic assistant is watching smiles change for the better! Even though Kelli's favorite color is black, she loves a big white Lineberry Ortho Smile!
Kelli loves running and watching movies. She has two movie watching buddies in her beloved Pugs, Daisy (9) and Dexter (2). She is also training for her first 1/2 marathon and full marathon this year and moonlights as a Beachbody Coach.
Kelli's favorite foods are steak, pizza and Taco Treat, and her favorite place to enjoy those foods is on the beaches of Hawaii!
Kim
Kim is our awesome Laboratory Technician! When you get your braces off, you'll get an really cool retainer made especially for you by Kim. What makes her such a great retainer maker? Kim has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Boise State! She's an artist by trade and loves bringing her artistic talent to every appliance that she makes. She has been working in the orthodontic field for the past 14 years.
Kim is married to a super cool guy named Jeffrey, and has two grown daughters, Lana and Candy. She also has a poodle named George and a tabby cat named Jake.
When Kim is not working at Lineberry Ortho (which she by the way, loves working here because of the caring and supportive team that's "good at what they do") she's hanging outdoors near water. Water is a must as she's a self-proclaimed real life mermaid! She likes being on the beach with friends and family.
Kim also enjoys jewelry making, working with clay and playing tennis. Her favorite food is cookies, with or without a glass of milk. She doesn't have any strict rules when it comes to the milk though, and is happy to eat any cookie dry.
Kim has quite the resume. In addition to her degree from BSU, she also is a proud ex crew chief of F4E fighter jets for the US Air Force. The sky's no limit for Kim!
Kindra
Kindra, Kindra, Kindra...Kindra's back! Kindra previously worked as a Sterilization Assistant for Lineberry Orthodontics, but now has completed Dental Assisting School at Carrington College and is back as a full time Orthodontic Assistant! She loves the women she works with at Lineberry Ortho and is happy to be helping our patients reach their goal of attaining a beautiful smile!
Kindra loves hiking and camping with her family. She also likes making crafts and spinning poi (we're not exactly sure what this is either...google it!). She loves Italian food and her favorite color is sky blue. She loves to vacation in the mountains of Wyoming (she's originally from Green River, WY) because "they center me and remind me of home."
When she is home, she loves playing with her dog, Sonni, who is a male cock-a-poo. Sonni keeps her busy, but her six nieces and nephews keep her really busy! Kindra loves kids and is a perfect fit for our team. We are so happy to have her back!
Jane
Jane is our Sterilization Assistant and has worked for Lineberry Orthodontics for nearly three years. She is a really hard worker and helps to keep the clinic running smoothly as she sterilizes the instruments as fast as we use them!
Jane has many hobbies, including reading, fishing (with her Dad), baking, shopping, exercising, and cheering on her favorite team, BSU. Go Broncos!! She also enjoys watching movies, hiking, and is currently working towards her black belt at Master Lee's tae kwon do!
Jane has a cat named Knolly and her favorite color is pink. Her favorite food is salmon, and we're betting that Knolly likes to have a few bites when Jane eats salmon. Jane's favorite place to vacation is her family cabin in New Meadows, Idaho. Her brother Kenny, is six years younger.
Jane's favorite part about working at Lineberry Orthodontics is that she loves everyone she works with. We love you too, Jane!
Stacy
Stacy is one of our newest orthodontic assistants! She graduated from Carrington College over two years ago and has been working at a general dentist's office, prior to coming to work at Lineberry Orthodontics. She loves working closely with Dr. Laura as she helps to "make even more beautiful smiles!"
Stacy drives to our office every morning from Emmett, as she graduated from Emmett High School and her family lives there. She has a boyfriend named Jesse, and they have a 1 1/2 year old little girl named Olivia. She also has a dog named Beatrice. It's a boy...named Beatrice! Her dog is a pug/boxer mix.
Her hobbies include hiking, road trips, fishing, camping, shopping, and spending time with Miss Olivia. She also enjoys surfing Pinterest and making things she finds. Her favorite place to visit is the coast as she loves the ocean, and her favorite food is Pasta...any kind!
Stacy is a girly-girl; her favorite color is PINK!!
Rayo
Rayo returns to Dr. Laura's office after leaving to be a stay-at-home Mom for a few years. We are so happy to have her back! Rayo brings 15 years experience to her job and was trained by the Red Cross originally. She loves working with Dr. Lineberry and her fellow assistants, but her favorite part about working at Lineberry Orthodontics is seeing her patients big beautiful smiles when they complete treatment.
Rayo loves camping, skiing and gardening and chasing her dog Baxter around the yard. He's a Schnauzer. When she's not working or gardening, she's dreaming of her next trip to Cancun, Mexico...hanging on the beach with her husband, Brian, and her 11 year old son, Riley.
David
David brings a wealth of knowledge to our team as he's an expert in not only computers, but inventory management and QuickBooks. He's also an excellent handyman and is eager to fix things around the office that stop working from time to time. David is our newest staff member, but he's known Dr. Lineberry longer than anyone else as he's her husband! Dr. Laura and David graduated from Payette High School together in 1987! After 25 years working in Industrial Sales, David hung up his hardhat to help in the family business.
When David isn't at work, he's happily camping, skiing, fishing, or watching one of the kids play sports. He also enjoys coaching and not only used to coach his son in football, but he was the Freshman Boys Basketball Coach at Payette High School for several years.
Kristina
Kristina's back! Kristina previously worked for Lineberry Orthodontics and now has returned one day per week. You may not meet her if you are a Boise patient as she travels with us to Mountain Home on Mondays. When Kristina is not working with us to help create beautiful smiles, she's working at Bombshell Salon creating beautiful hairstyles!
Kristina loves animals and is momma to a yorkie named Tinkerbell and a teeny tiny Chihuahua named Pike. She’s a Kuna native and returns there often to visit her Dad on his sheep ranch.
