I starting working for Ryckman Orthodontics in the fall of 2023 as the Sterilization Technician and am now an orthodontic assistant! I attended the Miami Valley Career Tech Center for Dental Assisting and I am now going to Sinclair for dental hygiene! You will see me helping patients in the back, sterilizing instruments, or helping out at the front desk.
I spend most of my free time shopping, swimming, walking my dog, or spending time with friends and family.
Lindsey

I started with Ryckman Orthodontics in 2020 as an orthodontic assistant. Now, I can be found working in various positions within the office both at the front desk and in the clinical areas.
My husband, Jonathan, and I have been married since 2018 and have two kids, Charlotte and Lane. I have two dogs and three cats which were all rescued. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my kids and family. I also love spending time outside, baking, shopping, and drinking iced coffee.
Sophie
Orthodontic Assistant
I have been in the dental field since early 2022. I spent a year in college but quickly knew in my heart that I was meant to be an orthodontic assistant. I joined the team in the fall of 2024 and it was the best decision I have made for my career!
I am marrying my high school sweetheart, Hayden, in late 2025. We share two amazing dogs. We have a two year old goldendoodle named Daisy Mae, Mae Mae as her nickname, and Brutus who is a golden retriever. I am a die hard Buckeyes fan and will forever be able to hold a conversation about football. I love talking, so my patients and I always are able to talk and laugh!
Karma
Orthodontic Assistant
I joined the team in early 2022 as an orthodontic assistant! I have been working in Orthodontics since 1994, but took a break to raise my four kids. My husband was active duty Air Force for 25 years, and we have now settled down to retire here in Ohio.
I love hiking, kayaking, traveling, and spending time with my two dogs as well as my family.
Monique
Front Office Coordinator
I joined the Ryckman team as the front office coordinator in January of 2024 and have been working in the dental field since 2021.
I have two kids and a granddaughter, which I love very much.
In my free time, I enjoy walking, spending time with my granddaughter, and hanging out with my friends!
Alescia
Office Manager
I am responsible for the day to day operations of both of our offices. I joined the Ryckman team in 2019. Everyone was so welcoming, compassionate, and helpful, which is the same care we give our patients. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of our patients during their journey at our office.
I married my high school sweetheart in 2021. As a family of 5, we enjoy doing anything outdoors or water related— boating, camping, fishing, or just hanging in our back yard. We are always looking for our next adventure. I love country concerts, traveling, shopping, and making memories with my kids.
Shelby

I am responsible for the behind the scenes operations of the practice. I began working in the dental field in 2017 and made the switch from General Dentistry to Orthodontics in 2019. I have been blow away with the warm and friendly atmosphere that our patients and staff create. There really is no better place to work!
I have been married since 2016 to my husband Ryan. We have a son and two dogs that keep us busy. I enjoy reading, traveling, and exploring outdoors.
