Jenell

Office Manager

Hey there! I’m Jenell, and I’m proud to call Chapel Hill my hometown. As a true blue Tar Heel fan, I bleed Carolina blue! After earning my degree in business management from DeVry University, I found my passion in the world of dentistry over eight years ago, and I’ve cherished every moment since.

Joining the Providence Smiles team in March of 2020 was a true blessing. Outside of work, I’m an avid crafter and music enthusiast. Whether it’s spending quality time with my family at the beach or mountains, whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen or immersing myself in my favorite TV shows, I’m always up for a good time.

Volunteering is close to my heart, and I find immense joy in giving back to the community. I can’t wait to meet you and help make your dental experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible!

Daniel

Patient Experience Coordinator

Hey there, I’m Daniel Lesane, and I’m thrilled to be the friendly face you’ll meet when you step into our office. As the Patient Experience Coordinator, I’m here to ensure that your visit with us is not just good, but great.

With a background in the tech world, I’ve found a new passion in the dental field, where I get to make a real difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s answering your phone calls or helping you schedule your next appointment, my goal is to make your experience with us as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

When I’m not at the office, you’ll often find me spending quality time with my son or casting a line out on the water. I’m a big fan of fishing — it’s my way of relaxing and connecting with nature.

I genuinely love what I do, and I can’t wait to welcome you into our dental family. So, if you ever need anything or just want to chat about your latest fishing adventure, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here for you!

Emory

Dental Hygienist

Hey there! I’m Emory, and I’m thrilled to call Chapel Hill my home. Being a Tar Heel has been a part of me since I took my first steps, and I proudly embraced that identity even more after graduating with my Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene in May 2021. Believe it or not, I’ve wanted to be a dental hygienist since I was just 10 years old! The passion I have for this field is truly ingrained in me.

Joining the incredible team at Providence Smiles in June 2021 was like finding my dental home. Dr. Gyampo and the culture here captured my heart from the very beginning. Outside of ensuring healthy smiles, I’m busy running a small craft business, exploring hiking trails, and cherishing moments with my loved ones.

I thrive on making those around me feel welcome and comfortable, so you can trust that your dental experience with me will be nothing short of exceptional. I can’t wait to meet you and take care of your dental needs with compassion and expertise!

Beyond my role in the office, my greatest joy comes from being a mom to my wonderful daughter, who truly lights up my world. As a mother, I understand the importance of family and strive to extend that sense of warmth and care to our patients, making them feel like a part of our dental family.

With my years of experience, I’m well-versed in dental procedures and post-procedure care, ensuring that each patient receives the highest quality of treatment and support. I take pride in being a welcoming face chairside, providing comfort and reassurance throughout every visit.
