Meet the Team
Mary
Office Coordinator
I have been working in the dental field for 40 years, the last 12 years of which have been at Dayspring Pediatric Dentistry. It has been a true pleasure to have formed relationships with our families and to see the children grow.
I have been married to my wonderful husband Dave for 39 years and we have two grown children, Cyndi and David. We also have a four-year-old granddaughter named Addilyn, or shall we say, “Princess Addilyn”! We enjoy our weekends spending time with our children and never getting tired of hearing, “Come on Mama and Papa, let’s play!”

I have been working in the dental field since 2019; and joined Dayspring Pediatric Dentistry in 2022. I am happy to be part of a team that incorporates a family-friendly atmosphere that extends into patient care making a difference for families.
As for my family, Nick and I have our son Aidan who enjoys anything pokemon, tech deck and sports related. Our favorite things in life include quality time, new experiences, and of course indulging in a delicious meal.

As of 2024, I also obtained my Illinois Real Estate License and began working with Coldwell Banker Realty. I am looking forward to capitalizing on continual education to be mastery within Real Estate and provide that blissful experience for all of my clients to make them feel affirmed.
