Chelle

Office Administrator

You'll see Chelle greeting patients behind the front desk, keeping things running smoothly and assisting where she may be needed. She's a proud Mom of two handsome boys; loves hoarding pens; using hand sanitizer; and making lists! The office is always filled with the sounds of Chelle cracking jokes, giggling with the other girls about their favorite T.V. shows (LOST, BigLove, and TruBlood), or bantering with Liz over football (Chelle has better taste and LOVES Notre Dame and the Patriots).
