Julie

Julie

Office Manager | Grayslake

I’m one of the smiling faces that you’ll see at the front desk. I’ve been a part of the team since 1996!

I’m a native of Lancaster County, PA and I live in Grayslake with my husband, Rob and my two lovely daughters, Mya and Tara. You may see me on the side of the soccer field and basketball court supporting my girls.

In my free time, I enjoy walking, yoga, and bike rides with the family - especially to Tastee Freez, or as they now call it: “The Freeze”!

Kelly

Kelly

Business Manager | Grayslake

I’ve been a part of the team since I was 11 years old - when I got my own signature smile! Braces have come a long way since I was 11; we now have fun colors, shorter treatment times, and less discomfort, but it’s still fun!

My husband, Bucket, and daughters, Kaley and Kendall, and I live in Grayslake. We can often be seen at school events, sporting events, and community activities. We love our town and the people in it!

Smile Coordinator | Grayslake

I’ve been with the team since 2011 but my daughter was a patient long before I came to work here. I love working with the wonderful staff and patients who make my job fun and exciting. My favorite part of my job is seeing our patient’s faces as they see themselves for the first time with their new smile!

I am a native of Hinsdale, IL, and currently live in Libertyville with my husband, Steve. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, visiting my daughter, traveling abroad, and reading.

Smile Expert | Grayslake

I graduated from Swedish American Hospital as a radiation therapist in 1984 and received my Bachelor of Health Arts degree in 1990 from the College of St. Francis. After taking some time off from the health field to raise my children, I joined the team in 2004.I’m currently the Smile Expert for the Grayslake office. I’m also in charge of inventory and purchasing for all our offices and oversee our Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance.

I have lived in the area since 1997 with my husband and three kids. I first discovered Orthodontic Specialists of Lake County as a mom and loved the friendly welcoming atmosphere. It was a perfect fit to be part of the OSOLC team.

Kim

Office Assistant | Grayslake

I'm the office assistant for our Grayslake location. I love this job because it keeps me super busy and on my feet all day long. It's great working with such an amazing, helpful, and fun group. Plus, we get to make people happy everyday!

I had been taking my family to OSOLC for several years before joining the team in 2019. I’m originally from Libertyville and since my husband was in the Navy, we have spent time in Virginia and San Diego.

We currently live in the Grayslake area with our 2 daughters. I love traveling (Las Vegas and Disney World are our favorites), reading, and spending time with friends and family.

In my free time, I enjoy being with my husband, son and daughter, family, and friends. I love the outdoors and working on my garden, planting flowers, and doing yard work. I also like spending time at the pool, beach, parks, or any other recreational activity that I can do with my family while being able to enjoy the fresh air.

I’ve lived in Gurnee for over 19 years with my husband and three kids. When I’m not in one of our offices working, you’ll find me running around Gurnee! I ran in the last 14 Chicago Marathons.
