Zulma, best known by you as Zu-Zu, has been with We Smile Dental since she was 15 years old! As one of our veteran team members, you have seen her in all areas of the office until she earned her degree from the Kennedy King/UIC Dental Hygiene program in 2004. Because your overall health is her primary responsibility, she takes great pride in offering the most advanced and dental care available. Her goal is to offer you education, information and inspiration to help you choose your best options for dental care. You will always feel as though you are the only patient in the office because of the casual, customized conversation with Zu-Zu. When she is not in the office, Zu-Zu loves pushing herself to the edge by always trying new things. This is a trait she hopes to share with her daughter as well

Jessica has been part of the We Smile Dental family since right after high school. She started as a dental assistant and spent 12 years working hands-on with patients, then moved to the front desk as a receptionist and today she’s our Administrative Supervisor.

Along the way, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, but what really stuck with her was what she’s always loved most: taking care of patients and making sure they truly understand their treatment plan. She’s also the person who helps patients find the most comfortable financial option for their budget, so they can move forward with the care they need.

Outside the office, Jessica is a proud mom of three daughters and spends a lot of time at the softball fields cheering them on.

Marlin is a key part of our administrative team, and she brings tons of dental industry experience with her. She’s great at helping patients with the details that make everything run smoothly: finding appointment times that work for your schedule, submitting dental claims, and handling pre-authorizations.

She also loves walking patients through treatment plans, answering questions, and helping find affordable payment options so you can move forward with care comfortably. And if orthodontics is part of your plan, you’re in great hands, Marlin knows the process inside and out and helps both kids and adults feel confident about what’s next. Outside the office, Marlin stays busy as a mom of three (ages 4, 5, and 17). She loves spending time with her husband and kids, and you’ll usually find her at swim lessons, cooking, playing, and doing all the fun family things.

Joselyne has been part of the We Smile Dental family since July 2016. The best part of her job? Our patients. She loves getting to know you, having a little fun, and making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

Before moving here, Joselyne lived in Puerto Rico and spent 13 years at Medtronic, helping support the pacemakers they manufactured, so caring for patients has always been at the heart of what she does. Outside the office, she’s a mom of two and loves spending quality time with her family.

You’ll almost always catch Alexis with a smile on her face and it makes every visit feel that much more comfortable. Alexis has been part of the We Smile Dental family since 2015, and over the years her professionalism (and seriously great people skills) have helped her grow into a key role on our administrative team.

She’s here to make things easy: helping you schedule appointments, understand your insurance benefits, and get the most out of your coverage. Alexis also specializes in orthodontic administration, so she’s especially helpful if braces or aligners are part of your care.

And she’s always looking for ways to better support our patients, she’s currently taking Spanish classes so she can communicate more easily and create an even better experience for everyone.

Nancy first joined the We Smile Dental family back in 2009 as a temporary team member, and by 2012 we were lucky enough to have her join us full-time. Her passion for dentistry runs deep, she graduated as a dentist from the University of Guadalajara in 1999 and spent six years practicing before moving to the United States.

That experience shows in everything she does. Nancy takes real pride in caring for patients, and she brings the same level of thoughtfulness and attention you’d expect from someone with her background.

When she’s not at the office, you’ll usually find her spending time with her husband and their two daughters.

Edelyn has wanted to work in dentistry since high school. She graduated from dental school in 2011 in her hometown of Durango, Mexico, and has been bringing her expertise to the We Smile Dental family ever since. Outside the office, you’ll find her reading, spending time with her family, dancing, or playing volleyball.
