Meet the Team
Brittany
Office Manager
Hi and welcome to Solon Family Dental! I'll help you with scheduling and financial matters, and can answer any questions you may have about our office. I love this office and our patients, and am always here to help. I really enjoy working with different people: getting to know them and helping them get the dental care they deserve.
I've lived in the Cleveland area over 5 years now and am originally from Utah. I really enjoy being outdoors with my husband and daughter and I also quilt and bake. I love Halloween and fall weather, give me a good book and a soft blanket and I'm right at home!
Christy
Scheduling Coordinator
Welcome to Solon Family Dental! I am so happy to be a part of the team. You can find me at the front desk ready to greet you at check in and help you with scheduling. I'll be the person who verifies your insurance benefits with your carrier and makes sure you get the most from them. My goal is to help you ensure your appointments go as smoothly as possible!
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter. You can usually find me listening to true crime podcasts or watching The Office reruns. I am originally from North Carolina and am enjoying my time exploring Ohio. I look forward to working with you soon!
Meg
Scheduling Coordinator
Hi y’all, Meg here! My husband and I moved here from Houston, Texas in 2022 where I previously worked in orthodontics, but I am stoked to be in general dentistry now. I am so excited to be a part of Solon Family Dental and can’t wait to meet you at the front desk! I love making all our patients feel like part of our family and will do my best to never forget your name (feel free to quiz me).
In my free time you can find me working out/running, mountain biking/camping with my husband, or playing fetch with my pups: Bear and Opie. I also enjoy coaching soccer because I grew up playing and competed at the collegiate level. Looking forward to meeting you!

When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and catching up with my family in Guam. My favorite thing to do is play piano, ukulele, and guitar with my young son Cassian!
Kristina
Assistant/Clinical Team Lead
Hi, I'm Kristina. I have been a certified dental assistant since 2016. I am so passionate about the line of work I am in. I love answering any questions, so when you are in our chair please ask away! My role is to remove any fear or doubt you may be feeling during the appointment. My goal is to have you walking out of the office feeling more confident than when you first walked in.
In my free time I enjoy helping people create a healthy, balanced lifestyle they desire in and outside of the gym. I also love baking and cooking while listening to country music! Family means everything to me, so I always savor the time I get to spend with my parents watching movies or playing board and card games.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé and our two kittens Squish and Calypso. We love traveling to really cool places together! I love reading books as well as creating art. I like to work with varying mediums; acrylic, oil, and gouache. I am passionate about art, and I believe a person’s smile is a work of art!

Wendy
Dental Hygienist
Welcome to Solon Family Dental! I have been working at this office for over 30 years! I'm passionate about oral health and excited to help you develop the same passion. There’s a strong connection between the health of your mouth and that of your body: I want you to achieve and maintain optimal oral and overall wellness. I’ll clean your teeth, assess your oral health, take X-rays, and apply fluoride. My most important duty, though, is teaching you how to keep your smile healthy so you can enjoy it for years to come!
During my time off, I love being with my family. My husband and I like watching comedians and good movies. My wonderful daughter and I have lots of fun shopping and doing girly things. I like taking my amazing dog for long walks at the park, too. I have fun doing my boxing and interval exercises. Life is good!
Brandi

Hi, my name is Brandi. I have been a dental hygienist since 2011, and am so happy to be a part of this great team! I enjoy meeting new patients and helping them keep their mouth and smile healthy.
I am married and have three kids, who take up every second of my time outside of work.
Emily
Lead Dental Hygienist
Hello, my name is Emily! I have been a dental hygienist since 2007. I enjoy educating and encouraging my patients through their dental journey. I strive to provide my patients with top quality dental care while being gentle and thorough.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, my boyfriend, and our two dogs. We love to be on the water! We spend summer weekends on the boat and kayaking. We often try to get away in the winter and we love traveling to Key West!
Michelle
Dental Hygienist
Hi! I’m Michelle. I’m so excited to join the Solon Family Dental team! I’m a NE Ohio native and graduate of THE Ohio State University. I previously practiced dental hygiene in Indiana and Connecticut, and I’m happy to be back caring for smiles in my home state! I am most passionate about oral health education and building lasting relationships with my patients. I always want my patients to leave my chair feeling heard, respected, and well-cared for.
When I’m not at the dental office, I’m working my other favorite job - being a mom! My husband Rob and I have a busy toddler, Francie, and are expecting a baby boy in January 2023. We also have a high-energy fur baby, Louie, our 5-year-old Cockapoo. We love spending time together outdoors, especially finding new hiking and walking trails, and cooking together in the kitchen.
Chassity
Dental Hygienist
Hi, my name is Chassity. It’s nice to meet you. I’ve lived in Ohio for 15 years but grew up in a small town in southwest Pennsylvania. My oldest son was born with sensory processing disorder, which made dental visits extremely difficult. Those experiences inspired me to go back to school for dental hygiene in my 30s. I’m a 2023 graduate of Lakeland’s Dental Hygiene program where I graduated Cum Laude and received the Colgate STAR award. I love to create an atmosphere of care for those who might be apprehensive during dental treatment, while at the same time educating my patients about their oral health. I strive to be the reason you smile today.
I enjoy spending time with my husband and two boys when I'm not working. We love to travel as a family and Mexico's all-inclusive resorts are our favorite. We have an 18-year-old Shepherd Doberman mix Maisey, who we adopted 15 years ago and two bearded dragons named Berry and Ruby. We also have a 180-gallon saltwater fish tank, complete with Nemo and Marlin!
