Meet the Team
 AbbyAs Dr. Pierce's assistant, part of my job is to make sure our patients are happy! I have worked at Goodman Dental for 10 years, and I am proud to have received Advanced CEREC training in order to provide up-to-date service for our patients. Outside of the office I enjoy scuba diving, snowboarding, and going to the lake. I am originally from Tucson and am happily married (and have been for 10 years) with two adorable little girls and one crazy dog! |
 AlisonMy name is Alison and I am Dr. Pierce's other Assistant. I received my National Certificate of Dental Surgical Assistant and have been a dental surgery nurse for 10 years. I began working with the doctors at both offices in June of 2009, so as you can see, I am the newest member to the team! I am originally from northern Ireland and currently reside in the Tucson area with my 4 children: Emily, Sean, Hannah, and Aimee. They keep me very busy outside of work, but I wouldn't have it any other way! When I'm not busy at work or with the kids, I enjoy walking, baking, cross stitching, movies, and music. |
| Amy For the past year and a half, I've had the pleasure of working as Dr. Pierce's assistant and filling in for the front desk (as needed) for the two offices. I am originally from Tucson and enjoy guitar, spending time with my family, and decorating when I am not busy at the office. I've also been blessed with a beautiful baby boy named Evan. |
 ImeldaHi! I'm Imelda, and I am a full-time dental hygienist, part-time troublemaker (just kidding) at Goodman Dental. I have worked here for 4 years, but have been in the field for about 13 years. I'm originally from Nogales, Sonora Mexico, but came to Tucson in 1986. I attended high school in Tucson and continued my education at Pima Community College, receiving my dental assistant degree in 1990. In 1997, I received my associate's degree in dental hygiene from PCC and also advanced certification of dental assisting. I married my husband in 1997, and we have a beautiful 8-year-old son who attends Canyon View Elementary School. When I'm not in the office, I love traveling and I volunteer on Fridays at my son's school. |
 JoyceI have been working with Goodman and Tangerine Dental for the past 9 years! For the first 8, I assisted at the front desk, and when the new office opened, I was asked to add Office Manager to that! I was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Arizona, which is where I also raised my own children. I have 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy, and 3 grandchildren. My husband, Joe, has 2 sons and 2 grandchildren, with another on the way! I adore them all and I make sure I have ample time to spend with them outside of work. When I'm not busy with work or family, I enjoy traveling, hiking, boating, and, of course, shopping! I enjoy seeking love, peace, and happiness in good endeavors. |
 KarenI'm Karen, and I am a registered dental hygienist at Goodman Dental. I was born in Oklahoma and spent 13 years in Venezuela, 4 years in Indonesia and Singapore, and 4 years in Utah before coming to the Tucson area where I've been for the past 20 years. I've worked with the wonderful doctors and staff at Goodman Dental for the past year and a half and couldn't be happier. When I'm not at work, I enjoy gardening, reading, hiking, traveling, sewing, weaving, needlework, motorcycles, scuba diving, and World of Warcraft. And, as if those hobbies didn't keep me busy enough, I'm married with 4 children and 10 grandchildren, and we are currently building our own home! |
| Meagan I have worked at Goodman Dental as a dental assistant since I arrived in Tucson in 2005. Originally, I started as a full-time employee; however, I currently work part-time in an effort to complete my education. I also appreciate the extra time I get to spend with my children. I earned an associate's degree in applied science-dental hygiene in 1990 followed by an expanded dental hygiene functions program at the University of Washington in 1992. Recently, I received my BA in organizational management through Ashford University. Throughout my career, I have participated in many programs, including primary dental health education, school-based sealant programs, and high school mentorship programs. I grew up in Illinois and lived in Port Townsend, WA, before moving to the Tucson area. I am married to my husband of 15 years and we have two children. Outside of the office, I enjoy reading, hiking, and swimming. I relax by painting watercolors; otherwise, I am a busy mom taking my kids to all their activities! |

I earned my BA in learning and pedagogy with an emphasis on early childhood education and I am looking forward to going back to school to earn a degree in dental hygiene.

When I'm not helping our patients, I enjoy many different crafts and traveling with my husband. |
