Emma, Treatment Care Coordinator
Emma joined us in 2023, and she loves getting to work with our wonderful patients every day while being a part of such an incredible team. She is a graduate of Butler University and started her dental career with Dr. Cohen, so she is eager to continue expanding her knowledge and gain experience as time goes by.
When she isn’t at work, Emma is a multi-media artist and spends most of her free time creating. She paints, crochets, makes digital works, and is also a fire performance artist (ask her about her flaming hula hoops)!
Mayra, Lead Clinic Chair Side Smile Architect
Mayra says that the best part of her job is having the opportunity to help others with their smiles and getting to watch their confidence grow at every visit. She attended Harper College and started in general dentistry before transitioning to her orthodontic specialty.
Mayra is married with two children, and she likes going on fun adventures with her family on the weekends. These days, she can offer a lot of insight for our patients because she is currently undergoing clear aligner treatment with Dr. Cohen!
Alesha, Executive Office & Clinic Director
Alesha is an Illinois native that has more than a decade of experience in the dental field! That started at First Institute, which is where she earned her dental assisting certificate as well as her coronal polishing certificate. She has been an important member of our team for over two years now, and she has thoroughly enjoyed seeing first-hand how each patient’s confidence grows throughout their treatment.
Alesha has two children, three dogs, and a snake at home! As for hobbies, she loves camping, hiking, kayaking, baking, and reading. Here’s a fun fact about her: she’s getting married in 2024 to her fiancé, Sean.
