Theresa is a Dallas, Texas native, but moved to Colorado for school in 2016. She graduated with a BA in Musical Theatre from The University of Northern Colorado in 2018.

She also worked as an actor and stage manager for various theatre companies in the Dallas area. She moved back to Colorado with her boyfriend and their two cats and dog! When not on stage or in a dental office, Theresa enjoys taking her dog, Scout, on adventures, watching as much Marvel content as she can, and practicing her architecture skills by creating floor plans in her spare time. Theresa is excited to explore Fort Collins and will hopefully get back on stage here and in Denver. She is passionate about helping patients get the care they need and is happy to be working for Dr. Allen and Dr. Shumaker!
I am originally from Southern California and recently moved to Colorado. I have been in the dental field since 2006, with most of those years spent as a dental assistant, and have been doing front office for about three years. I enjoy spending time with my two kids and dog, Cali, going on adventures, and making memories. My favorite part about dentistry is giving people their reasons to smile back!

Surgical Assistants:
I was born and raised in Pueblo Colorado and have been in the dental field since 2012. I have enjoyed learning all aspects of dentistry and love working closely with patients to achieve their dental goals. My job presents differently every single day on a patient-to-patient basis. What stays the same, though, is how I strive to make patients feel comfortable the moment they enter the office to the moment they leave. If you can’t find me at the office, you can find me at home staying low key with my husband and beloved French bulldog.
Dental Hygienists:
I grew up in Brush, Colorado. I completed my bachelors degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of Colorado School of Dentistry in 2001. I am married to my high school sweetheart, we have two beautiful girls, and a Laboradoodle. I enjoy camping, boating, exercise, reading and spending time with friends and family. I have lived in Greeley for 13 years and am excited to be a part of the team of Northern Colorado Periodontics in Greeley.
