The Administrative Team at Jackson Creek Dental Group

Providing Quality Service for Amador County, Calaveras County, San Joaquin County, El Dorado County, Sacramento County, and many more

Trina, Chief Operations Manager

Trina joined us in 2010, bringing over 13 years of dental experience to our office in the areas of administrative and clinical support, management and training.  Prior to that she was a Field Account Manager for Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. and Grainger Industrial Supply. At Pac-West Telecomm she was named top sales person of the year five years in a row. Her dedication, passion and management expertise have added great value to our organization. One of Trina’s goals is to serve others to create “wins” for both patients and employees, and she strives to do this every day. She likes the family atmosphere at Jackson Creek Dental Group, and the fact that we are very involved in our local community. She has also taken on sharing the job of Practice Administrator, responsible for the day-to-day, behind the scenes running of the practice.

When Trina is not working at the dental office, you will find her out hiking, biking or camping with her family. They also enjoy doing a lot of traveling together.

John, Chief Relations Manager

Raised in Amador County, John attended Jackson Elementary, Jackson Jr. High, and Argonaut High School. He lived in the Sacramento area for about 8 years where he graduated with a Marketing Degree from Sierra College and worked in Sales. John moved back to Amador County and worked in Marketing/Event Planning for 4 years before joining the Jackson Creek Dental Team

Mary, Insurance Coordinator

Mary brings over 30 years of dental experience to her new job as Insurance Coordinator.  She most recently was the Supervisor/Patient Coordinator for Dr. Frey at Amador Dental Specialties where she worked for over two years.  She graduated from Merced Community College in Merced, CA and began her career as an RDA for a periodontist in Merced.  Over the years Mary discovered she had a true passion for accounting and started a new dental career in the administrative side of dentistry at Kids Care Dental Group in Sacramento, holding the position of Billing Office Manager/Administrator.

After moving to Amador County, Mary did a lot of research about local dental offices and liked the idea that employees had been working here at Jackson Creek Dental Group for a long time which meant that the doctors really treated their patients and employees right.  She was looking for a practice that she could have a long term commitment with, one that was progressive and one she could share her extensive dental experience with.

Mary likes being outdoors, spending a lot of time hiking, camping, gardening and traveling. She tells us her next big trip will be to see the sights in Germany.

Ciara graduated from Sacramento State University with her Masters Degree in School Counseling and a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts. She worked as a School Counselor for the Amador County Unified School District for two years before joining our team. Ciara is very passionate about helping people which makes her a perfect fit for this position. She is excited to be the first face people see when they walk through the door because she feels she can really make a difference in someone’s day by being friendly and helpful.

Ciara likes working at Jackson Creek Dental because, “everyone is really nice and supportive.” When you don’t see Ciara at work you might see her playing in a Cornhole Tournament with her husband or working out. She also loves to spend a lot of time with her family and friends, including her 8 nephews and 1 niece. She was raised in Amador County and loves the fact that she still gets to live here and help patients from this area.

Mackenzie, Administrative Coordinator

Mackenzie joined the team in 2020 and immediately fit right in. Before she came to our office, she worked with adults that had intellectual disabilities. She worked for a non-profit organization where they supported individuals in creating a quality life they could be proud of while giving back to their community. Now her role is an Administrative Coordinator, so you will see her friendly face at the front desk or possibly filling in for a Coordinator. Her goal is “To excel within the company while exceeding patient’s expectations and making positive impressions.”

Mackenzie loves the family-like culture that our office has and is excited to be part of a positive change for others, creating Smiles For Life at Jackson Creek Dental Group.  She is very friendly and wants to build relationships with the people that share our community.  When Mackenzie is not working hard, she has many hobbies including, boating, going to the ocean, spending time with her animals, camping, swimming, playing card games, 4×4 trucks, buggies, quads, etc. She also enjoys movies, music, traveling, and just spending quality time with her family.
