About Your Team
Brooke , Practice Manager
"Trust me, I'm almost a dentist!"
My Mission:
To inspire others to be the best person they can be inside and outside of the dental office.
Educational Background:
I spent 10 years as a dental assistant before moving into the operations side of practice management. I love all things dentistry, team building, and being in an office that consistently supports personal growth and education. Even though you will see me less on the clinical side now, I still love when I get to jump in and help patients out in the chair! Seeing a patient become confident in their smile is why I joined dentistry in the first place.
Life & Hobbies:
I'm a mom, wife and chaos coordinator on my off time! I have two fantastic children and two dogs who keep me busy, and a husband who spends the majority of his off time helping me do projects he didn't sign up for. We are an outdoorsy family who love to ride quads, camp (glamp) and be out with our group of friends anytime we can! During the summers you'll find my kids and I at the lake enjoying jumping off the dock.
Kerilyn , Hygienist
"Everyone smiles in the same language!"
My Mission:
I want every patient I work with to feel that I am treating them the same way I would treat my family.
Education & Professional Background:
My career in dentistry spans more than 25 years and multiple positions within the dental office. I have degrees in dental assisting, dental hygiene and applied health studies. I started my career in New York State as a Dental Assistant and Front Desk Associate before becoming the 100 year old practice's first Dental Hygienist. I love clinical Hygiene and have continued working as a Hygienist through moves to Texas and now Washington State.
Life & Hobbies:
I've known my husband of 18 years since high school in rural western NY. We have a teenage daughter that keeps us busy. Our family life revolves around all things bicycle. We also enjoy hiking and travel.
Mallory , Dental Assistant
"Life's short, smile while you still have teeth!"
My Mission:
I didn't have a good experience with dentists/staff when I was younger, so my goal is to make sure our nervous patients never feel like they're being overlooked or not listened to.
Educational & Professional Background:
I went to PIMA for their Dental Assisting program, then did my externship at Sky Ridge Periodontics. I came to Dr. Messah's office right afterwards in 2018, and have been here ever since!
Life & Hobbies:
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my son, daughter and husband! I spend most of my off-time barrel racing and running my lessons/training business. Most weekends you'll find me watching my son mutton busting or at the rodeo's racing all across the state.
Emily , Business Assistant
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!"
My Mission:
My mission is to make each patient feel heard and seen when they walk through our doors. I desire to be a bright smile that helps our patients know they are safe and welcome here!
Educational & Professional Background:
I have been with this office since Summer of 2020 as a business assistant. Everyone is encouraged to continually grow and strengthen their careers. I'm very grateful to be a part of such an amazing team that champions one another to be the best they can be.
Life & Hobbies:
I love spending time with my loved ones, baking, watching shows and movies, and drinking coffee. My time during quarantine really got me into baking. I recently made from scratch maple bacon donuts - YUM! If I do say so myself!

I have been in dentistry for nearly 20 years and desire to be a life-long student, constantly learning, growing, and evolving with science in my industry.

Outside of the dental office, you'll find me on a field, court, or gym wathcing sports with my kiddos. I am a parent of five kids - a blended family- his and hers. four boys and one girl. A lover of animals; two hunting dogs and four horses. If I'm not chasing kids, I'm outside on horseback blazing trails with my husband. Together my husband and I share a passion for the outdoors and physical fitness - lifting weights and training for life. I look forward to caring for you and learning about all of your passions!
