	Hi, my name is Julie. I am a lifelong resident of Livingston County, currently living in Howell with my husband Todd and our three dogs, Cori, Marilyn and Newman. My career in dentistry started eight years ago when I began researching bottle mouth, a condition from which my nephew suffered. Through my findings, I was able to instruct my brother how to proceed with his son's care and helped ensure that my nephew received the extensive full mouth treatment that he needed. Since that time, my passion for dentistry, and specifically pediatric oral health, has grown. For the past eight years, I have worked as Dr. Goodell's assistant and the office's treatment coordinator, both positions that I find very rewarding. Inspired by my nephew's success, I continue to enjoy focusing my efforts on educating parents about the important role they play in the oral hygiene of their children. In my spare time, I enjoy cross-country skiing, showshoeing, Zumba, tennis and golf.
	Hi, my name is Tami , R.D.H. I have worked with Dr. Goodell and our outstanding team for the past 10 years.  I took this position because of my strong agreement with Dr. Goodell's philosophy of patient care, and I continue to take pleasure in it today.  I deeply enjoy working in this office because it affords me great freedom to plan and complete patients' treatment, and flexibility between my job and caring for my family. I currently reside in Brighton with my fiance, Todd, my 7 year old daughter, Zoe, our two cats, Millie and Archie, and two dogs, Bailey and Belle. I enjoy kickboxing, reading cross-country skiing and spending time with my family.
	Hi, my name is Sharen. I moved to Brighton from Pennsylvania in 2006 with my husband, Scott, daughters, Kim and Mackenzie, and our goldendoodle, Cooper. I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in the dental field, and I bring 19 years of dental experience with me. I started with Dr. Goodell's office in 2010, working as the practice administrator.  I look forward to coming to work each day because of the family atmosphere between the staff and our patients. In my spare time, I enjoy flower gardening and visiting my daughter in Chicago.
