Val
Meet Val, our clinical manager! She has been at Red Apple for 3 years. She’s been in the dental field for 10 years and loves to work with children. She is a mother to 2 amazing boys, whose favorite pastime is playing with video games and love to play sports such as football and soccer! She also has a beautiful daughter who is already an athlete and is involved in school dance and loves to cheer! In Val's spare time you can usually find her at a recreational event for her kids, or out exploring the great outdoors with them! We don't know where she finds the time, honestly!! She is from a bigger family and very family-oriented. Her parents are El Salvadorian natives, and moved to the US in the mid '80s to start their new family! As the oldest of three siblings, Val often takes charge and goes the extra mile, and we really appreciate her initiative! When you see Val around the office make sure you give her a warm hello!
Erin
Erin is one of our restorative dental assistants at Red Apple. She is an aspiring Pediatric Dental Hygienist and an excellent dental assistant. She has several years of experience working with children in a dental setting and has one of her own. Her daughter Layla was born at just 26 weeks old, giving them both several tough obstacles in life, which we believe has molded Erin into the resilient woman she is today. Layla's favorite things to do with her mom are swimming, coloring, and of course, eating! Being Irish, family is a big part of Erin's life, she has a big brother, and her two parents here in Stafford, which she spends a lot of time outdoors, and exploring the entertainment the area has to offer. Erin is set to get married in 2021, also! In the near future, Erin plans to continue her education and become a Registered Dental Hygienist, but we sure are enjoying having her as one of our assistants in the meantime!
