Sandra brings warmth and efficiency to Sweet Smiles Dental Design as our Office Manager. A certified Expanded Duties Dental Assistant (EDDA) and member of the American Association of Dental Office Managers, Sandra is committed to continuing education to enhance patient experiences. "The best thing about my job is seeing patients smile and having them tell me how much they enjoy coming to our office," she says.
Originally from Aurora, Sandra attended Colorado Mesa University before completing her EDDA education in Denver. When not ensuring our practice runs smoothly, she enjoys spending time with her husband of 28 years, Jason, their two grown sons, and their pets. The Howard family shares a passion for ice hockey, outdoor adventures, and game nights. Fun fact: Sandra's family includes four beloved pets named after famous personalities – two dogs, Axl and Dexter, and two cats, Jimmie and Dale!
