Charity
Orthodontic Assistant
My more than 30 years of experience in dentistry come in handy when putting even the most anxious patient at ease. I’m here to help our patients achieve their desired smile and improve their confidence, from the first appointment to the very last. The best part is always when they get their braces removed! I appreciate Dr. Ryckman’s conservative approach to treatment and the trust he builds with his patients. He makes me proud to be a part of the Ryckman Orthodontics team!
I have been married to Rob since 1986 and have two sons and three cats. I love cooking and baking, especially a new or original recipe. I also like to express my creativity by drawing, painting, and pursuing DIY projects. Most days, you can find me spending time with my husband and boys.
Alescia
Office Manager
I have been in the dental field since 2018. I spent several years as a restaurant manager before I decided I needed a change in my life. I joined the team at the end of 2019 — it was a great way to ring in the new year. Everyone was very 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.
Josh and I rekindled a high school romance in 2018 and married in 2021. I have a step daughter, Hadley, who keeps us on our toes and laughing We enjoy doing anything outdoors as a family — camping, canoeing, fishing, and much more. We are always looking for an adventure and to make new memories. I love country concerts, traveling, and spending time with my family.
Shelby
Business Manager
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 blown away with the warm and friendly atmosphere that our patients and staff create. There really is no better place to work! I look forward to building wonderful relationships with each of our new and existing patients.
I have been married since 2016 to my husband Ryan. We have a son and two dogs that keep us busy walking, playing, and snuggling. I enjoy traveling, reading, and binge watching tv shows!
