Our caring team at Parkside Dental is here to make every visit comfortable and stress-free. Proudly serving patients from New Brighton, Fridley, and surrounding areas with experience and compassion.

Hi, I’m Mary, and I am Parkside’s Dental Hygienist! I was born and raised in St. Paul, MN. I attended
Century College, and graduated from their Dental Assisting program in 2013. I later returned to
Century College and received my degree in Dental Hygiene in 2018. I have enjoyed getting to meet
the Parkside patients that schedule their routine preventive care appointments with me! The best part
about my job is educating patients about oral health and working with them to optimize dental hygiene
routines. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids.

Hi, I’m Carol! I grew up in Jamaica, and then I moved to the United States of America and joined the
Army. After my time in the Army ended, I became a Dental Assistant, and have been serving patients
since 1995! I have a passion for dentistry, and I take pride in connecting with patients and making
them feel comfortable at every visit. In addition to being a Dental Assistant at Parkside, I am also a
wife, mother, and grandmother, and when I am married with children and grandchildren, and I enjoy
spending time with family and friends fishing, boating and enjoying life.

Hi, my name is Kylie! I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in December 2025
and am currently working towards my goal of attending dental school. My passion for
dentistry began with my own experiences with missing teeth growing up, and I love working
with patients and helping them feel confident in their smiles. I enjoy spending time
outdoors, being with family and friends, and baking. I look forward to meeting you and
assisting with your dental care!

Hello! I’m Jaida! You can find me behind the front desk at Parkside Dental. I recently completed my
undergraduate degree, and I joined the Parkside Dental team shortly after. As I pursue a career in
health care administration, the experience I have been able to gain in this role has been invaluable!
Outside of work, I like to spend as much time as I can with my puppy Tilly, my family, and friends.
Give me a call to schedule your next appointment- I look forward to meeting you!

Hey, I’m Megan, Parkside’s primary “insurance lady” and general office coordinator! I have been
working (and laughing!) with the Parkside team since 2020. Aside from my coworkers, my favorite
thing about my job is learning about what brings each patient to our office. We see folks from all
walks of life, and get to hear so many interesting stories! Outside of the office, I like to spend my
time (and money) roaming the aisles at Target, watching far too much reality TV, and hanging out with
my many nieces and nephews.
