Ciao Dante Smile Section

Hello and welcome! Inside, you’ll find specialized guidebooks, playbooks, and tools created from over a decade of hands-on orthodontic experience.

With over 10 years of hands-on experience in key roles —from Treatment Coordinator to Office Manager—I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what really moves the needle. 

Now, I’ve consolidated that real-world knowledge into a series of practical, proven guidebooks and training tools designed to help your practice grow—in patient starts, in collections, and in confidence.

Whether you're overwhelmed by daily operations or ready to take your team from good to exceptional, you're in the right place. I help orthodontic practices streamline systems, train high-performing teams, and boost case acceptance with practical tools that actually work.

My collection of role-specific orthodontic guidebooks—for Treatment Coordinators, Office Managers, Marketing Directors, Financial Coordinators, Clinical Assistants, and more—are designed to take the guesswork out of training and daily execution.

From editable scripts and checklists to onboarding plans and success strategies, I’ve created everything your team needs to stay aligned, confident, and consistent.

Let’s simplify your systems, empower your staff, and elevate your practice—together.

My passion is positivity. It’s enjoying life. It’s living life to the fullest and not waiting for a special occasion to do so. That’s why I started Ciao Dante! I specialize in Italian Travel Services. A bucket list dream, or a once in a life time experience for many people is more attainable than you’d think. I help people in a way that transcends physical goods. A memory. An experience. An adventure. An heirloom story to tell generations to come. 

There’s always procrastination when it comes to enjoying life, especially since so many get stuck in a corporate rut, but you don’t have to wait until retirement, and I help people use all that well-deserved PTO to get to Italy. The land of my family, and the epitome of work-life balance. It’s a land where they value family, food and love over work, diets and burn out.

The Italians have a phrase “dolce far niente,” which means “the sweetness of doing nothing.” It means to savor the moment. It doesn’t glorify laziness but emphasizes the value of leisure and relaxation without any guilt. Americans don’t always know how to value that concept, as I was one of them, and admittedly, sometimes still am. I believe in this so much that I started Ciao Dante to help people live out this lifestyle and hopefully capture it long enough to take home and share with their village.

The orthodontic process is very Italian, very poetic. It involves slowness and patience to achieve results. The patience also transcends material goods. It's a life-time result and beautiful experience. Just like a trip to Italy. 

Though my heart lives in Italy, it grew up in orthodontics. Though I focus on Italian adventures now, I still visit my old neighborhood of helping create physical smiles, and enjoyed consolidating my experience in hospitality, empathy, and practice growth into Orthodontic Guidebooks. Now, you can eliminate the feeling of being overwhelmed, and elevate your practice with confident staff, high morale, peace of mind, and crescendoing growth.
