Amy
Front Office Coordinator
Amy
Front Office Coordinator
Amy grew up in Ogden, UT (so she definitely has street cred) and moved here in June of 2012 with her husband, Nate, to follow his dreams of working at a prison. She was hired by Dr. Payne shortly after, because, she has like, a TON of marketable skills (sarcasm being her #1 skill). Even though they have had plenty of opportunities to move back to Utah where her family is, she stays here because of the family she has found at OAB. (Plus, her husband found a non-prison related job.) She has two adorable kids- one girl (Blake) and one boy (Cole). She enjoys listening to music (don't ask her to sing), crafting, shopping (Nate, the accountant, does NOT appreciate this "hobby") concerts, Diet Dr. Pepper, and working out (just ask her how high she can jump). Her sisters are her best friends and her number one band is The Killers. Her dream job (besides working for Dr. Payne) is to be on Saturday Night Live, but she's secretly always wanted to be a rapper.

Sami was born and raised in Marsing. The majority of her childhood was spent on her family's farm, on a tractor, or chasing cows. After graduating dental assisting school, she had the chance to interview for an externship at OAB and she absolutely loved everything about our office. However, she decided to go a different route and took a job assisting with an oral surgeon. After a year, she couldn't stop thinking about OAB so she applied right when she saw that we had an opening. She never knew it was possible to wake up and be excited to come to work every morning. She adores her work family. Her favorite food is hot Cheetos and she always keeps a bag at her desk in case of a snack emergency. When she is not at OAB, she likes to spend time with her cats and ride her horse.
