Heather
Records & Marketing Coordinator
This is my sixth year working as the records / marketing coordinator. This position has given me the opportunity to be the initial contact in the patient's smile journey. My favorite part of what I do is watching the smile transformations. I take pride in growing the practice through social media, where I have the opportunity to reach out to the community.
Born and raised in Eureka, I enjoy outdoor activities like fishing, lake trips, and traveling to concerts. I value spending my free time with my husband, two beautiful daughters, two fur children (Chief and Moose), and of course, my family and friends.
Natalie
Office Manager
I have been working side by side with Dr. Enriquez and his team for almost five years! From managing our three office locations to planning our next staff function, I always make sure the office stays up to date on the latest technology and our staff and patients have the most beautiful smiles! I have eight years of dental experience including general dentistry, IV sedation, oral surgery, and orthodontics. Every year, I enjoy visiting our local dental assisting school to educate students about orthodontics.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, taking the boat to the lake, and spending time with my husband, our two-year-old daughter, and our fur baby Bentley.
Ashton
Registered Dental Assistant
I started my dental assisting career in 2021 and knew immediately that I wanted to be in orthodontics. I was a patient here at Humboldt Orthodontics and really enjoyed the duration of my treatment and the overall vibe of the office, so it’s special to be working here now. A few of my favorite parts about this job are the independence of working one-on-one with the patients and watching their confidence bloom as their smiles change! I love being part of Dr. Enriquez' team because he creates a positive and fun work environment. He keeps us on our toes, encourages us to try new things, and keeps us laughing.
Outside of work, my interests are baking (mostly sweets), traveling with my husband, trying new foods, collecting enamel pins, and snuggling with our cats Scout, Nori, and Poppy.
Shannon
Registered Dental Assistant
I started my dental assisting career in general dentistry, after graduating from the College of the Redwoods Dental Assisting Program in 2019. After about two years, I found my love and passion for orthodontics. Even while having braces for three years, I also enjoyed going to my ortho appointments. Having braces gave me more confidence and changed my life in a lot of ways. I enjoy working in this field because I love it when patients get excited about having a new smile and you can physically see their confidence boost. Working for Dr. Enriquez is such a blessing, he goes above and beyond to make every person happy and truly gives the best experience whether you’re a patient or an employee.
Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my friends or at the beach. I’m a cat mom to my fluffy boy Zeus. He is full of energy and keeps me on my toes. Most importantly, my number-one priority is being with my family as I am very family oriented. Overall, I am a very cheerful person, and I’m always looking to have a good laugh and put a smile on everyone’s face!
Breanna
Registered Dental Assistant
I graduated from the dental assisting program at College of the Redwoods in 2021. Right after graduating, I began working here at Humboldt Orthodontics, and have loved every bit of it. There are so many things to enjoy about working in orthodontics, but I think my favorite is watching the patients’ confidence grow with their smiles. I also enjoy helping my patients pick out new fun colors for their braces by creating unique patterns that they will love. I am very grateful to work with such a great team, and cannot picture myself anywhere else.
In my free time, I love to draw, go on road trips, listen to music, and spend time with my cat Tootsie.
Cassi
Dental Assistant
I started my dental career by interning and shadowing a local dentist back in 2018 and through that experience, I gained a love and passion for the dental field. After graduating with my B.S. from Sonoma State University, I started working as a dental assistant. When I started working for Dr. Enriquez, I fell in love with dentistry even more, and knew this was the right field for me. Seeing how excited patients are to transform their smiles is incredibly rewarding. My favorite part about my work here is when patients see their new smile for the first time and are able to be with them throughout their journey. I have worked with Dr. Enriquez for a little over a year and I’m constantly proud to be a part of his team. His ability to put patients' concerns at ease and go above and beyond for them is inspiring. I am truly so fortunate to work with such amazing people.
When I’m not at work, I usually spend time with my niece and nephew or go on hikes with my puppy, Oliver. I have a strong love for Michael Jackson and dinosaurs—my favorite is the Brachiosaurus. I am also currently studying for my D.A.T. and will soon be going to dental school.

I am so proud to be part of an office that loves to prioritize, detail, and perfect every patient's smile. Working with a passionate team that strives for excellence is empowering. I truly cherish the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with our patients, and I carry those connections with me in my heart. It’s one of the most rewarding aspects of my role as a scheduling expert.

Lizzy
Treatment Coordinator
After graduating from Sonoma State with my Bachelor’s degree, I moved back to Humboldt County where I was born and raised. I started working as the Treatment Coordinator for Dr. Enriquez in January of 2023. As treatment coordinator, I get the privilege of being a part of every single patient’s orthodontic journey. I love working with a team that is dedicated to ensuring that all patients have the best possible experience. I enjoy working in such a friendly and inviting atmosphere and leaving patients feeling welcomed and informed about their options.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, including my adorable nephew. I also enjoy working on creative projects like knitting and crocheting.
